Good pay, all else is not that good

Pros

The payroll and financial package offers are considerably good.

Cons

This is my personal opionion: If you think that BCOM is a place like Google and Microsoft in terms of work environment you are wrong, despite being among the top list of tech companies in the market, the company is all "Old style". The main focus is on stock price and profit, then come the customers, employees are at the very end of the list, in fact, you have the impression that you are an asset the company leases for a certain amount of time, and can dispose at any moment as long as they follow the legal and contractual requirements. The company works with the military Command and Control mode, with almost no transperency or comprehensive communications especially during big changes, no feedback or listening to employees voice, lack of many of the modern benefits and flexibility, like working from home or hybrid work setup, inconvenient office productivity and collaboration tools, limited, if any; team building activites. My advise is that you do not underestimate or make assumptions when you are joining the company, you have to be attentive and carefully check and discuss all the policies, benefits, and work details to make sure they are stuiable for you, For example, RSU distribution if you are entitlemed to such, their tax deductions method, and what you can/cannot do with them. You have also consider the low career safety with the massess of layoffs and re-orgs that can happen anytime.

Pros

High salary and generous RSUs

Cons

Hock Tan speaks like a businessman from the 1950s with extremely antiquated work viewpoints. He treats the employees like worker bees, there is no warmth whatsoever to this man. He says a business can't be successful if employees are working remote yet acquired VMware where 35,000+ employees worked remote and had $31 Billion in revenue. He's unwilling to evolve into the new way of doing business. There is no paid parental leave policy outside of 10-days. He doesn't understand that to get the best out of his employees you have to have a work-life balance. He admitted he has no hobbies outside of work so he has no understanding that everyone else does want to do other things in their life.
