Pros

Great products, interesting work, and great people. Salary is competitive, but don't expect too many other perks. Work-life balance is heavy on the work side.

Cons

Too much micromanagement, red tape, and senior management interference. This shows lack of trust and the constant interference ripples through the organization causing undue stress and anxiety. The employees spend more time jumping through hoops than developing products.

Pros

Decent pay, decent benefits, good work experience

Cons

Poor management, constant arguing amongst managers and employees, managers will give you good reviews and then tell the opposite to management, VP of this location is the most unprofessional person I have ever met. Constant foul language and hand slamming on tables during meetings

Pros

- Relaxed Environment - Product company - Possible opportunities to work on a variety of products - Competitive salaries - Above average 401k - Friendly people

Cons

- Seem to be restructuring every few years (layoffs) - Leadership and lower level management either do not communicate well or obfuscate true state of business - Interdepartmental communication is lacking - Poor planning (or communications of plans) - Not a lot of "A player" talent; recent restructuring caused a real brain drain in what top tier talent the company did have - Network is very slow and outages are not uncommon - Engineering/Development computers are average at best - No way to access email or company servers away from the office unless you use Citrix, which is extremely slow itself or due to the above mentioned network performance. VPN access used to be available, but was removed - Mobile native app mail access requires company spyware to be installed on your personal device - Outsourced software development groups appear to have very little budget or are unwilling to use budget on engineering tools, software, and server infrastructure to aid development
