      Pros

      - Great benefits. - Cool Diversity and Inclusion program. - Varied and interesting software offerings.

      Cons

      - Difficult promotions/internal job mobility if a manager has pigeonholed you and does not enable you to stretch into new skills. - Colleagues without boundaries (lots of inappropriate asking on dates, touching, etc. -- HR only sometimes intervened) - Diversity and Inclusion practices are inconsistent with what the program preaches. - Compensation for some roles isn't great. - Inconsistent management practices across teams and across organizations within the company. (It's like some managers are held accountable and some aren't.)

      Pros

      Strong customer base and historical platform success. Very strong brand for quality and support. Many smart people from which to learn. Phenomenal benefits and employee services.

      Cons

      Very distracted by non business related issues and operational challenges, highly matrixed which creates a great deal of accountability confusion. Attrition seems high right now. Very political.

      Pros

      Only reason to work here is the money.

      Cons

      Leadership blatantly lies to placate employee concerns, acting the opposite in practice. Leadership care more about internal turf wars, power, and politics than customer success. The company is engineering driven; product teams have no influence on priorities. If you're in product management, avoid this place like the plague. Nobody has your back here. Leadership don't think twice about sacrificing people. Diversity in leadership is a joke. Old rich white and brown dudes are totally tone deaf and regularly unwittingly say the most egregious things. Women are visible only in secretarial roles in all hands.
