      Great company - great benefits - poor work-life balance/middle management

      Pros

      Work with very smart people, great compensation/benefits package, great impact in pretty much anything you do.

      Cons

      Very poor EQ in some management, poor team work, people are after their own interest. Stack-ranking system was "discontinued" opening, but still there behind doors. Not a whole lot of collaboration spirit in general.

      Pros

      Worked with a great team of very smart SDEs and SDETs (and other PMs) who worked tirelessly to get the job done. Egos were left at the door and it was truly a team effort.

      Cons

      Managers spent too much time creating - you guessed it - PowerPoints for weekly meetings with senior leadership. No time for mentoring. I spent way too much time doing manual configuration work for our project that was necessary but didn't get lot of press (despite my best efforts to communicate it). My org was incredibly top-down, which just doesn't work when you're trying to quickly churn out incremental pieces. Once our major project launched, a lot of us got laid off, even after many spent countless nights and weekends trying to salvage the project. Of course, senior leadership wasn't impacted by the "job eliminations."
