Pros

good pay, nice office amenities and perks

Cons

moronic leadership, abrupt and radical decisions randomly taken by upper leadership without consulting lower or middle management ends up creating chaos which ultimately make the life of engineers very difficult and frustrating. there's no such thing as Job Security. Be prepared to be asked(ordered) to work on weekends it's more common here than you think. Also work will slowly cover you personal life as well, managers shamelessly call you anything over cell, whatsapp any time of the day and week.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
