Pros

Solid engineering culture, large-scale systems, modern tech stack. Good work-life balance, predictable workload, smart colleagues. Plenty of time to write clean, maintainable code instead of firefighting.

Cons

Heavy corporate bureaucracy, slow decision-making, lots of meetings and approvals. Innovation moves slower than it could. Career growth and promotions are not very transparent, especially for contractors.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Vacation, parental leave, cafeteria, DEI.

Cons

I feel like decisions are made by people not involved in processes which results in day to day activities becoming more and more difficult. Unable to schedule projects to save their lives. So many last minute tests and drop in testing, theres almost no point to schedule testing.
