Pros

Strong business that continues to drive growth and profits Global reach, with a strong presence in many international markets Smart co-workers Nice campus, with great cafeterias Driving some pockets of innovation

Cons

Unwieldy technology base hampers new product development Constant re-orgs (I had 4 managers over 2 years) Constantly focusing on the next shiny new thing, sucking resources from other initiatives Cutthroat environment - not many team players 24/7 culture means poor work / life balance

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
