Pros

Good place for parents as working 9-5 is pretty standard. Food is great and company plans cute parties. People are generally nice.

Cons

Lots of bad managers and HR can't control them. HR itself is known to be full of women with really bad attitudes. "She's just like that, try to ignore how rude she is." They don't tell managers or execs to behave appropriately so bad behavior is tolerated. Constant re-orgs and no real long-term roadmap. Many people were pushed out in re-orgs and being fired without warning is pretty common.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
