      Pros

      Great company, very nice fellow employees. Good, competitive in terms of salary and benefits (RSU, ESPP) Great work environment - honest, direct and professional Constant feedback Many on-site courses (Scala, Spring, Java 8, etc.)

      Cons

      Since it's a large corporation, a single employee's impact is not huge.

      Pros

      Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

      Cons

      1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
