Pros

Large software company Opportunity to learn all lot

Cons

It was a wonderful place to work years ago but this year things have taken a nose dive. Comp and RSUs cut. Few people are being promoted. Obsession with metrics. Tactics that appear to be mean to drive attrition: No more flex day, RTO for some employees, Reviews are harsher. They're trying to cut cost buy hiring new engineers from Mexico for perhaps 20-30% of the price of a US citizen.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
