Pros

Great products and a well-known brand — accountability is optional if you know how to work the system.

Cons

Middle management has been overrun by leaders who know how to manage appearances but not people. The executive team is so far removed from the business that they don’t realize how much misinformation flows up to them. Engineering has become one of the slowest and least effective groups I’ve encountered, a clear example of how unchecked growth can rot a company from the inside out.

Pros

Great company perks, free food, trade shows, golf etc. Lots of travel, can be fun but also not when it’s 6 weeks in a row

Cons

Super cut throat personalities from a group of people. People that bark the loudest but do the least. Instead of a raise, they will give you free tickets to an event. Lots of travel
