Pros
Decent pay for LCOL areas if you’re a developer, not decent if you are willing to move for tech.
Cons
Was fine before RTO initiative but they’ve performed a complete 180, forcing people to relocate to keep their jobs (Dallas). Going from being a company focused on productivity (did you get your tasks completed on time etc) to a company obsessed with you sitting in the right place 3-5 days a week and tracking. Many talented people let go because they didn’t live in the right place or weren’t scanning their badge an arbitrary number of times a day. Offices are bad, dirty, no assigned seating, people fight over seats, you get to the office no where to sit end up in a hallway. No real amenities at offices. Everyone still just meets on teams, people are just going in to get the badge swipe. Upward mobility is low, you’ll reach a certain level and get forgotten about unless you play politics hard to the point that the job becomes more about politics than the actual work. Hard work and going ‘above and beyond’ isn’t rewarded, constant budget cuts, constant layoffs. Management is clueless and somehow believes all of this chaos will create a better end product, or they don’t care and are just chasing short-term stock gains. Avoid, at least until Stankey is gone.
