      Pros

      Glad to be out of there! If you brown nose the right managers and continually manage up, you just might last a few years.

      Cons

      Incompetent employees can wallow for years often because they're connected to a Director or above and managers simply don't know how to manage low performers out. Employee careers are helped along and protected by an alliance based on your ethnic or sexual orientation. Leadership talks about each other and employees behind everyone's backs, creating a contentious environment. One day you're "In" and just as quickly, you're "Out" for no real reason. HR is NOT there to support employees, only to lhave ok out for the company.

      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
