Pros

The compensation (especially with bonus and RSUs) was better than most companies in the region. Also due to the office movie to Richmond (which most people hated) they offered 1 to 2 days working from home and a few snacks around the office. Due to lack of morale, some good team events were organized.

Cons

After CA technologies acquisition into Broadcom, things were just a nightmare. Higher management had no clue and kept changing their positions. Local Management was slowly cut down with no transition or sense. Teams shrunk naturally and were never back-filled but the same outcome was expected. The morale in the company was extremely low and nearly everyone was staying there for one and only one reason .. the compensation. It was very rare to find anyone who looked forward to working there for any other reason except working with their co-workers. The business only cares about numbers i.e. meeting a certain revenue to employee strength .. the rest does not matter .. employees are just a number in the planning spreadsheets. Processes were a mess and never cleaned up. The company claims to be agile but really it has a lot of waterfall like thinking and mentality.

Pros

Good payment, good stock price

Cons

No good management in some group. Upper management only cares money and stock. Company rules are used to punish good employees who follow rules and work professionally. Mangers who cheated and bully are covered by HR. Normal civil freedom to communicate with people could be limited by the company with ridiculous reason. Employees electronic device could be monitored including your personal cellphone. Some personal information could be used by some managers to threaten people.

You are just a number

Pros

Salary is a few percent above average

Cons

Zero company culture. You are just a number that is hired to do a task, no one cares about anything else. There is no career progression. There is zero support from management, you are hired to do your job and if you need help you need to look elsewhere. The management has no backbone either and won't stand up for its team.
