Pros

- Great brand with global presence and opportunities if you push for them - Stable work, it's what I imagine government jobs are like - Not the worst salary, bonus or benefits package but they do keep lowering the bar

Cons

- Lots of busy work but very little meaningful work that will make you feel like you are growing skills - Self absorbed and childish management - Generally low morale - No real career paths, even though hundreds of hours are spent developing them - CEO is arrogant and visibly flippant towards staff - Cube farm mindset deeply ingrained - Zero camaraderie among colleagues

It's going downhill.

Pros

Passionate people who care about the products they build.

Cons

Benefits getting reduced on a regular basis. The retirement pension could have been understood by the employees as an expensive benefit that would be slowly ended over the next 3-5 years. Or not offer it to new employees. The telecommuting policy is ridiculous considering other high-tech companies in the area, as well as being in Foster City. It's OK for the execs to be away from their teams, but not for the rest of the population. Slowest moving company ever for getting yearly plans defined and rolled out. Salaries are much lower than other companies, and they almost encourage you to leave rather than keep you happy.

Pros

-Brand name -Company is not going to go bankrupt -You can hang out and not do a lot of work, if that's what you like

Cons

-Culture of extreme fear. Always worried that you will make a mistake (on something that you were never told you should/shouldn't be doing) and be publicly humiliated for it -Lack of career growth or any career paths (unless you benefit by nepotism - e.g., are an Indian male of a specific caste) -Dishonest HR and Executive team (sold on specific benefits and growth opportunitites to be recruited, only to find them pulled away in a careless manner -Dull workplace, unless you like working on the same tasks for the rest of your career (must stay within the swim lanes and keep quiet) -Such an uptight environment (have to follow all of these steps, gain approvals from all of these things to do just the most simple tasks) -No work from home option (perception that if you're not in the office, you are not working); completely detached with reality, especially millenials -Given a good salary to start but virtually no raises/stock, promotions. Quickly, you'll realize you are falling further and further behind the comp of other Silicon Valley organizations
