Pros

Good benefits and salary, probably the only upside here.

Cons

Leadership includes Cs, and mid-levels know about the toxic competition culture among employees, but let it brew. The teams between orgs fighting over the scopes lead to constant reorgs, making engineering teams scarce.

Pros

Pay is nice. That's about it.

Cons

Highly unstable. Recent decisions has left the staff of the entire company in a depressive state I have never seen at a company before - I don't think any SE is really happy here. It genuinely feels like upper management hates their workers. I'm now hearing SE's talking about changing jobs and forming unions in the office every day - it's gotten so bad people just don't care about keeping their job anymore. If you are an SE, I would EXTREMELY recommend looking somewhere else. They are vocal about replacing us with AI here. There's been multiple recent layoffs and from the sound of management, there will continue to be layoffs in the future. Trust me, it is NOT worth the money. You will regret it.
