Pros

Hybrid work, events, 9/80 schedule, educational benefits.

Cons

Very authoritarian hierarchy that encourages management to lie and bully anyone they deem a pariah out of their position. Adequate training is not provided, you are expected to read minds and managers work together to weaponize any conversation or question you have with them against you. And their work culture and their Diversity and Inclusion is a facade.

Pros

Fellow co-workers. 9/80 schedule, relaxed dress code, flex hours, gym on-site, good employee groups for sports activities, big company with several career paths, R&D path is available for those who like to be close to the technology.

Cons

Middle-management really struggles in the following areas at this location, mentoring, succession planning, maintaining morale, talent retention. There are clear favorites who get promoted fast, creating an "us vs. them" feeling. Many of the supervisors lack basic leadership skills and do not help to make their direct reports feel valued. Most of the people that have less than 10 years experience aren't getting paid enough to buy a house in the Bay Area. If they do buy a house, they sacrifice location, resulting in very long commute times.

Frequent and significant layoffs. Limited career advancement opportunities and job security after age 50. Very process oriented - can be difficult to get things done in anything resembling an efficient manner.
