Pros

Ted talks and Fortune 100 compny looks good on your resume. Thats about it.

Cons

Where to start... the team I work on has the most negative, energy sucking, vindictive individuals I had ever worked with. Specifically my supervisor and her favorite employee. She would regularly bad mouth people on the team and speak about personal, confidential information, out loud, to her sidekick (her favorite on the team due this employee's knowledge, because without this individual my supervisor would be SOL). A few of the rest of us are in ear shot so we hear her talk about how she wants to get people fired, how she feels about people's reasons for taking FMLA, or even just sick/personal days. One time, she even questioned an employees bereavement (out loud) when the employees father died. She has pitted team members against each other, and regularly reveasl employees' personal situations to the team, and laughs about it with her sidekick. Also, if you do not have kids, there is no leniency offered to you. She has an extreme bias when it comes to employees with kids vs employees without. Having to leave early, come in late or take personal days are approved with a smile. If you don't have kids she feels there is no reason for personal days or flexibility with your shift. She and her sidekick always have ulterior motives. If they don't like you, they will find a way to turn people against you, specifically your team and management. She is so unprofessional that I cannot believe she is in this position. She has told blatant lies about employees and is extremely petty. The team know it all gets special privledges, comes and goes as she pleases, gets bonuses she doesnt deserve, and mostly because she has 3 kids and the manager would be lost and not survive eithout this employee's help. For the pennies it pays, it's not worth being on such a cheap team. 5 cannot wait to start my new job. Worst experience of my life

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
