The least toxic employer I've ever had
Pros
The company as a whole is very good about keeping the toxicity common to large corporations at a minimum. Because of its heritage as a software engineering company more than what's considered a "tech company" today, there's a very healthy engineering culture with a relatively low level of meddling by upper and middle management in most parts of the company. Employee benefits are very strong and the company is excellent at integrating a remote and geo-diverse workforce, even prior to the pandemic. The headquarters facility is well-run and facility staff (from building operations to kitchens to security and safety) are fantastic. Incredibly smart people work here and for the most part embody the company's stated value of bringing their genuine selves to work.
Cons
Compensation and growth opportunity is not commensurate with the company's stated aims for employees. After a decade of record-breaking years, employee compensation rises quite modestly. The engineering heritage of the company is eroding a bit. Offices with doors that close and allow engineers to think about problems and solve them were torn out and replaced with open plan spaces that are noisy, busy, and unproductive. Reorgs are increasing in frequency -- something of a red flag -- and often disruptive.
