Pros

It looks good on your resume and because they are idiots they'll just keep throwing more money at you to get you to stay (if you even want to stay).

Cons

You won't learn a thing because management is completely incompetant and will end up blaming you for their own stupidity. Dilbert cartoons won't seem funny any longer because you'll be living them. The technology sucks big time and systems don't talk to each other more frequently than they do.

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
