Pros

Good pay and benefits, and my particular team/manager are great. Work life balance is pretty good in that I'm hardly ever expected to work outside my normal hours, though I've heard that varies from team to team.

Cons

Strict (and very unpopular) return to office of three days a week, even for people who don't work with anyone else at their location. Apparently they're going to try to jam even more people in offices, so we won't even have a cubicle of our own in the future. Pushing for adoption of gen AI tools rather than investing more in the less buzzy but more critical devops infrastructure that we actual need in order to be productive. And there have been layoffs recently.

Pros

The pay is market average, and the benefits are quite good. I love my peers. The vast majority of them are kind and talented people. I truly enjoyed my first several years with the company. Well past the honeymoon period for a new employer. And at the time, I recommended this place to anyone I knew looking for a job.

Cons

Management is a mess from the bottom up. The culture of the company has drastically changed over the last several years because of frequent retirements, layoffs, and reorganizations. Employees I know from across describe the same experience: the company has gone from outstanding culture to one that feels openly hostile to its employees. Management decisions are built like cudgels and enforced through all stick and no carrot.
