Pros

Good compensation, excellent benefits package, cafeteria and gym onsite, and they pay for education. Good work-life balance, except during the tax season. It is possible to get away without working much, and many people do.

Cons

People are mediocre at best, lazy and incompetent at worst. Managers yell, scream, and call people in to work on Saturdays. Meetings take a better portion of the day, and it's important to go and agree with the powers that be. People are punished for bad decisions, but are not rewarded for good ones, therefore it is very hard to get to a decision at all. Discussions go on for weeks and months. There is a general culture of firefighting - the most brownie points go to the person fighting the biggest fires, never mind that those are generally the people who caused the fires in the first place.

Great engineering culture, supportive team, strong mentorship, and meaningful intern projects with real product impact.

Large company processes can sometimes make onboarding and finding the right information slower at first.

Pros

Pays well, nice work notebooks, don't check office attendance until they need someone to fire

Cons

My whole team and management up to VP level are on visa or offshore. They're not interested in including other cultures. No direction except looking good for immediate manager. Lots of favouritism too. Expectation to accommodate offshore times. Tech is a legacy hodgepodge of unnecessary implementations that only we're made for the resume of the developer. People let go randomly, so no use to work hard or smart, only thing that matters is if the right manager likes you.
