Pros

Lots of opportunities for personal growth, pretty decent work-life balance, culture used to be competitive but now is slowly becoming more collaborative

Cons

Upper management sometimes makes strategic errors and then instead of paying up for their mistakes, they just fire engineers in droves

Pros

Some parts of the company have really good people and really nurturing environment. In these teams work is a joy, and you will look forward to coming to work every day.

Cons

Most places though are cesspools of politics, and often you win by gaining power, and you gain power by putting people down.
