Pros

Work life balance is good if not great, The work environment is good. The stock benifits are great.

Cons

No longer almost flat hierarchy as advertised years ago. The India center has become top heavy. Lots of new managers, so the team environment now a days depends on which team one is working in.

Pros

Work/Life balance. The culture really makes taking breaks and time off a priority. Work hours & working from home or remotely is very flexible. Actively trying to avoid layoffs while shifting focus.

Cons

Product Management driven. The Product Managers are looked to as visionaries who define the product, when most seem to have been put in the role simply because of their leadership/sales skills. Your role may change. Every year with the re-org the focus of departments is likely to change, sometimes drastically. Certain teams are still struggling to add value in a newly established business model. In order to avoid lay-offs, employees are often shoe-horned into roles they may not like or be necessarily best qualified for.
