Pros

Stock performance from past years strategy and technology.

Cons

Got to throw or been thrown under the bus. Only way to get ahead is at other's expense. Not about the value you provide and qaulity of work. HR is just a joke.

Pros

Technology, individual people, passion from old timers.

Cons

too many new Snr Directors, Directors, VPs brougt in without any posting of possibilities. Latest rankings as to potential kept secret from individuals, but apparently being used to make decisions. Very unclear on how internal growth of employees will be driven.

Pros

Good technology and great market potential.

Cons

Poor management, poisonous company culture, no career growth at all, layers and layers of redundancy in management doing nothing but collecting a fat paycheck and tons of options. Promotion or management hiring purely based on connections, not merits. Treating IT like a third-class citizen. Company currently has 6000+ people but still feels like a startup with all its signature chaos and lack of professionalism at every level.
