Pros

Name brand, good pay, but overall not worth the lack of work life balance and terrible people you will encounter

Cons

absolutely no work life balance, coworkers have the personality of robots, pretty soulless culture, fake backstabbing, software engineers can say no to anything, UX has no power and NO SEAT AT THE TABLE, you will be doing whatever product management tells you to do. Almost all Product Managers do not know how to product manage, come from sales, and thus you will have to be your product manager on top of your design responsibilities. Most managers are micro-managers even the "so-called good ones." Backwards product org filled with dinosaurs. Don't waste your time.

Pros

Stable company with excellent compensation and benefits. Great place to build a strong foundation in data center operations and enterprise infrastructure. Exposure to a wide range of technologies, vendors, and production environments. Collaborative culture with supportive coworkers and a healthy work-life balance. Good environment for learning the fundamentals of hardware deployment, troubleshooting, networking, and large-scale infrastructure.

Cons

Career growth can be slow due to a very flat organizational structure and low turnover in senior positions. Limited opportunities to develop new technical skills or take ownership of major infrastructure projects. Training and professional development opportunities can be inconsistent and may depend on management support rather than individual initiative. Engineers looking for greater technical ownership, innovation, or faster career progression may eventually outgrow the role.
