Pros

They tend to let groups work independently for a while.

Cons

This company is just a conglomeration of acquisitions, and will eventually let the best people go, or let them leave.

Pros

-Virtual/WFH -Salary -Vacation Policy -Nothing else

Cons

- Legacy company trying to switch to the cloud but not having really strategized on the best approach to do that. Unless you count just acquiring company's and seeing which ones might give the perception of modernization. -NEED to be a liberal if you want to enjoy working here. The constant barrage of far left wing political views from CEO and upper management is astounding. In the era of the Great Resignation, do you think it is smart to be incredibly biased toward one political/moral perspective? Why not be indifferent like a large technology company should be? Example: They will pay for abortions and gender re-assignment treatments, up to the point of providing $4k in per diem to travel out-of-state if the employee's state has laws against it. And claim to even be able to cover it as an "in-network expense". -They plan to be MAJORITY diverse with a 50/50 gender parity. Sorry if you are a white male... career progression doesn't look too promising. Equity means "fair and impartial". Does the above seem impartial? I guess this is the same equity as only considering appointing a black female to be a Supreme Court Justice.

Pros

ability to work from home--oh yeah, everyone can now

Cons

every decision from a raise to keep employees to what events to attend, and even travel requests are decided by the CEO. Even his leaders aren't empowered. He is CTO and CEO so when products are delayed, there's no incentive to fix the problem. What the company does is a huge problem too; it's a mix of many brands that aren't retired and what they actually do isn't clear to market.
