Pros

A stable company not taking too many risks and sticks to existing products

Cons

It's difficult to grow in the company especially for Engineers in the Data org. Most of the managers focus on little things and miss out on a big picture.

Pros

Great benefits when we were able to work from the office : Good food, Gym etc...

Cons

Compensation below the industry average, a clear decline in recent months with layoffs and extra pressure on teams, management is lost and disconnected from the reality of the business, zero flexibility with customers and employees, there have been too many changes in the past year or so, maybe getting to big ?
