      Pros

      Pay is decent, but not compared to other big tech.

      Cons

      Terrible work life balance, poor benefits, and frequently get pay decreases rather than increases. If you plan on climbing the corporate ladder, you can make a lot of money though Middle managers here are especially bad

      Pros

      - Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

      Cons

      - 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
