      Average but stable if you are the right cog in the wheel

      Software engineer iii
      Current employee
      San Jose, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - 4% match for 401k - Amongst a lot of boring and meaningless work, there are some pockets of pretty interesting things to work on - Taking time off is respected for the most part - There is opportunity to step up if you really want to - If you are the right cog in the wheel, you can dodge layoffs and try to fly under the radar for the steady paycheck - WFH/Remote-friendly (so far) - WLB is pretty decent if you put your foot down and set boundaries

      Cons

      - Coporate office politics is rampant - Reorgs and layoffs are a constant - Huge layer of fat in middle management that slows things down and refuses to be cut - Priorities change every day - Lack of vision, transparency, or accountability from management - Comp is pretty average - Company is becoming a sweat shop mentality with the new ceo - Path to promotions / career growth is unclear - No innovation / no bandwidth for engineers to even think about innovation
