Pros

Company name still have value in the valley. Products are high-tech, innovative. Easy 9 to 5 work. Can get away by doing no work and just responding to emails all day. Beautiful office and facilities.

Cons

No growth opportunities. Pathetic middle managers who are technically inept, political and interested in advancing their own careers. Senior management doesn't seem interested in making any real improvements. Top talent has left already.

Pros

Customers still happy to engage. The technology is still great, but pressure from alternatives is setting in.

Cons

Management is done by checking boxes. Training is based on an all or nothing model. There are no individual training paths. Promotions are based on politicking and not on performance.
