Pros

Fantastic opportunities to work with interesting new technologies. Great investments in emerging technologies. The company controls fair share of the market and year by year has had very good financial results. Stable employment even for non top performers. Quite some great and fun people in the office.

Cons

Extremely crowded office. Most profitable technologies taken over by other companies acquisition. The company is a conglomerate of many companies resulting in chaos, internal competition, cannibalization and lots of internal politics going on. Years behind competitors - the company is struggling to catch up with new trends. Some good talents wasted because of chaotic HR. Despite omnipresent lean ideology more and more management and non-productive positions created to oversee the right way of working. Exceptionally weak leadership at lower levels. No career development path. Outsourcing to low cost locations like crazy.

Pros

Plenty of parking, close to highway

Cons

Workplace is toxic, dysfunctional, and psychologically draining. Management is the root cause of problems, fostering a culture that tolerates: Harassment Intimidation Favoritism and nepotism Sexism Employees are expected to remain silent and continue working under constant pressure. High levels of: Employee burnout Stress Overwork Turnover Human Resources protects the company and management rather than employees. Complaints are often minimized, ignored, or redirected without meaningful resolution. Issues are widespread and known by many employees, though some are reluctant to speak publicly. Prospective employees seriously reconsider working there, the company presents a positive image externally but has a deeply unhealthy internal culture marked by poor leadership, lack of accountability, and low employee well-being.
