Pros

- Decent work-life balance* - Even after the cuts, still has good compensation and benefits - It's still a major tech company, though it's steadily losing everything that made unique or successful in the past *Depending on the project and the manager

Cons

- Out of touch leadership leading the company on a downward spiral - Layoffs, budget cuts and compensation cuts have become the norm - Regressive, micro-managed, top-down culture, the complete opposite of what it used to be
