Pros

- Opportunities to grow in your career - you may hear about a new project and if you want change, then you can go ahead and make it happen. - Easy to have open communication with management about what I liked/disliked - The people I worked with were great. - I liked the pay.

Cons

- Depending on the project, there can either be a good structure already in place or a lot of building up. Work on the management skills for those newer teams and hire for positions available.

Easy Going

Pros

I've been here for around 9 months and so far things have been easy going. I was terrified that it would be extremely stressful like how I felt when I worked for a small tech company, but to delight it hasn't been that way. I can only recall 3 events where I felt stressed. 2 of them were preparing for demos. The culture here is friendly, work is interesting. You get to work from home. Nobody micromanages you. You get a free gym membership if you work at building 8 / 8a. Flexible scheduling between 9/80 and 4/10. If you don't like your current team or your role you are free to move around without having to do interviews with other teams.

Cons

Some people don't like it when it's too slow paced but I do. At some of the buildings, they could use some furniture upgrades. Hard to grasp the leadership structure since it's such a huge company.
