Pros

Minuscule raises when their hands are forced. People at the bottom that Paul and Jennifer take advantage of are nice young lads and ladies. The companies they keep acquiring have interesting technology, according to my daughter. Love the 90s style logo they are keeping, it reminds me of my first job at Microsoft!

Cons

As a 43 year old man, all I wanted was a place where my employers would care about me. I guess this "Boomer" is not cool enough for silicon valley. Anyone not in california was treated like second class citizens. the people at the top seem like they are divorced and trust no one and it trickles down to every single employee. I thought I'd be fired at a moments notice like they did with my boss. Glad to have gotten out to a reputable company like IBM !

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
