Not worth it

Pros

I loved most of the people I worked with and the products themselves were very cool to work on! Not bad compensation if you negotiate.

Cons

Management only wants to cover themselves but doesn’t actually care for you. Lots of bureaucracy more than any other large company I have worked in. Don’t get fooled by unlimited vacation, it’s actually only 15 days and then you start having your manager tell you they won’t approve it. This place will work you down to bare bones if you let it. Very slow progression and not many opportunities for growth cause you have so much work on your plate. They are making 1 person do 5 people’s worth of work.
