Pros

Great reputation, and fairly easy to move around and try new things. Leadership is trying to improve the company, but they are struggling at retaining talent. If you get a good manager, then you can have good flexibility and work life balance

Cons

Great reputation, but most of that seems to be historical. Some advertised benefits are almost impossible to get, and there is little transparency on whether you'll get them when you apply. Pay is significantly below local market, but that's obscured by the job title game. You are grouped into job titles that may not reflect the position you applied to or work you are doing. Moving up is political versus based on ability or contributions. If you get a great boss, it could be a great job, but bad managers are protected and complaints through proper channels can lead to being listed as a no rehire. Most tech companies have equivalent or better benefits. Some changes are very heavy handed and communicated horribly, but are sometimes reversed when there significant complaints. The company rewards talkers over doers. Not as friendly to diversity as it was historically. Some people get mocked over salaries or English speaking ability

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
