Pros
- Nice campus. - Great benefits. - Amazing retirement contribution matching (though the vesting period is long -- 5 years). - Good place to end your career before you retire.
Cons
You don't get a laptop. You get a virtual machine running on repurposed old on-prem servers. So slow and laggy that basic tasks are difficult. It's not like using a VM in Azure or AWS -- this is much worse. For example, there's dedicated packet capture hardware in the network path that adds a ton of latency to all traffic. The networking architecture looks like a Gordian Knot. Probably fine for people who only use Outlook and Chrome but not appropriate for software development. If a decent computer is important to you, do not work here.
