Pros
Bill Sr. is probably the coolest executive in the world, very down to earth kind of fellow. Lots of folks stay here because of loyalty to him. Free parking, good location near freeway and in safe neighborhood. Occasionally good travel deals. Most of us peons genuinely care about our work and my coworkers are awesome. I can attest that a lot of money is spent on making our datacenters amazing, top tier network and server products are bought. I think the desktops and laptops are high end too.
Cons
There is no respect for employees. A long time employee recently resigned and was literally kicked out of the building after his exit interview even though he still had stuff at his desk and wanted to say good bye. He spent considerable effort with us and lower management ensuring a smooth transition. Seriously, what kind of hell hole treats employees like criminals? How about a 10 year veteran engineer who wanted to work from home but was not allowed, even though others are allowed to. And this is a supposed "technology" company...LOL. There is such a toxic atmosphere of distrust in our department that everyone is afraid to even do their job. One wrong move and you are written up...and then you get no raise that year. Must be how they keep labor costs low. Management is always looking for someone to throw under the bus. Upper management will come over to your cube and SCREAM AT YOU in front of everyone if any mistake is make. Seriously, worse than being in the army. Lower management has been emasculated and can't make any decisions anymore. Draconian lunch policies have been implemented, requiring us to work late. Stuff like this makes us all want to look for new jobs. Nepotism runs high in the upper echelons but woe betide anyone who is not VP or above: anybody related to you will be summarily rejected even if they apply to a completely different department. HR has way too much control over IT, why does HR approve IT related projects? I've worked at 10+ companies and never saw anything like this. Wellness program is a joke too, all my friends and spouse's company provide either cash incentives or an on-premises gym. Half of the building is empty, would it hurt to spend some of those record profits management brags about on your team? The 8907 building is retro and not in a good way, the 70's interior needs to be renovated.
