Pros

Culture has good values and hard working people Work is interesting and you meet a lot of talented, smart individuals They are very accepting of all races, cultures, orientations, backgrounds and they are always researching ways to be even better.

Cons

Hard to move up from individual contributor, there just aren't a lot of spots to fill unless you play the political game (drink the koolaid) The compensation seems to be lagging as of late. They sort of force you to either feel comfortable with your salary or consider what else is out there. They will always give you just enough meat on the bone to make you feel like it's worth staying, and that's even for a above average performer

Pros

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
