Pros

Good benefits. If you're in the right team I could see it being an okay place to be. Things work out better for those who keep their heads down, do their job, don't rock the boat.

Cons

Bullying not only tolerated but encouraged. Culture of fear, annual layoffs every November. I witnessed the poor treatment of a once outstanding coworker who became ill (illness is seen as weakness?). She was laid off so they didn't have to deal with her anymore. Management has no empathy or tolerance for weakness. Complaining about wrongdoing - including poor treatment of women - is dealt with by laying off those that speak up.

Pros

The pay and benefits and that is it.

Cons

I have never worked anywhere that cared less about the humanity of its employees. Perhaps this is standard for tech - but the way I've been treated makes me feel like they are either looking for an excuse to fire me or want me to quit, and I've been here less than a year. Everyone is paranoid and gatekeeps information so they feel job security but then lashes out when you don't know enough to help them. This company needs to change everything if it wants to survive.
