Pros
The campus is in a great location. The amenities are fantastic as well. You will work with some wonderful and talented people. You will learn skills and work with technology that is transferable across the industry. Equipment and tools are kept up to date
Cons
The job itself. The R&D department is a complete mess and it will only get worse in the coming months as the reorg fails and more talented employees leave. The senior leadership in the department are not in their roles because of their skills, it's because they were sycophants for the previous CTO. The cronyism and nepotism is rampant, as other reviews have pointed out. You will see unqualified people promoted into senior roles with no accomplishments to their names. You will watch people you care about burn out and fail as they are overworked. Pay is also pathetically low for what is expected of you. This is no longer a small shop but an international company. The company flat out lied about promising pay banding information for the department. Perks are deteriorating as the company focuses on absurd profit goals to appease the private equity owners. Department morale is in the gutter.
