Pros

Good salary and benefits, no micro-management, you always have lots of independence as an engineer here.

Cons

Too many re-orgs, projects often get closed without any reasons and or explanations, one can easily have 2-3 managers per year or end up with 3-5 years without any code making it to production. Too many pointless meetings and documents, since current performance system rewards it way more than actual product creation. And in the last 2 years, a significant decrease of transparency in the company on all levels.

Pros

Perks are great, but working from home is totally different than being in-office obviously, so difficult to say exactly how much it's worth it.

Cons

Job satisfaction isn't all that great.
