Pros

It is a work environment sure to challenge the ambitious and reward the successful. The company is in the midst of a transformation, and for those up to the job, they will forever be able to say that they were there when an American icon turned the corner (or didn't).

Cons

It is a stressful environment, and should be. Millions of people rely on us for their livlihoods and we take that responsibility seriously...and because we don't always fulfill those customers' needs completely, it can be a real pressurecooker.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
