Pros

Amazing compensation. Unbeatable in the area and industry. Salary plus RSUs and after three years it is really an added bonus.

Cons

Micromanagement. Work taken from the operations people responsible and becomes the work of upper management (associate directors and higher). No visibility on how to progress.

Pros

-Compensation -Benefits -Smart and capable co-workers make the day to day easier to navigate

Cons

-Poor leadership (specifically in the Quality organization). - Leadership does not lead by example - It's not unusual to observe a Quality VP or Sr.director taking screenshots of Teams chats (for CYA?). I question the level of trust (in both directions). This behavior creates a toxic environment. - Quality role scope creep- leadership tries to "own" and/or oversee the activities of other departments outside the scope of their QA responsibility which makes execution of processes cumbersome and, in many cases, non-value added and confusion over responsibility ownership.
