Pros

Many opportunities to learn new technologies via classes/presentation. Provides company wide events for majour holidays. Flexible PTO (in USA) Good benefits

Cons

Projects are too political, with groups more concerned about keeping/expanding their team than making the company a better place. Racism occurs in small batches within the minority groups. e.g. Indians hiring only Indians (even at the level of their own state/neighborhood). Managers blatantly steal ideas to boost themselves or their favorites. Work/Life balance is a hit or miss. No sense of working on anything that contributes to the well being of society. Teams don't really provide career growth after a few years, forcing you to move around.

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.
