Pros

Large software company Opportunity to learn all lot

Cons

It was a wonderful place to work years ago but this year things have taken a nose dive. Comp and RSUs cut. Few people are being promoted. Obsession with metrics. Tactics that appear to be mean to drive attrition: No more flex day, RTO for some employees, Reviews are harsher. They're trying to cut cost buy hiring new engineers from Mexico for perhaps 20-30% of the price of a US citizen.
