Pros

It really varies by location. Dallas is not the same as Santa Clara, Munich or Bangalore. If you're a in-the-trenches engineer in a stable group, you have the benefit of a relatively stable company with plenty of resources.

Cons

Whether you are an individual contributor or a manager, be prepared for constant management change. Growth at all costs is the mantra. This causes very short-term orientation. Most low-level managers seem to live in fear and mid-level managers are constantly trying to climb. This also causes HR to have way too much organizational power. Not good long-term.

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
