      The money isn't worth it

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive salary, 401k matching, nice equity package for senior folks.

      Cons

      Management, technology, bureaucracy, culture, lack of innovation or vision, boiler-room politics. Reviews are handed out as patronage. Some teams have more project managers than developers. Results and/or achievement are not respected or encouraged. Managers only care about their head-count. They will do anything to increase it. Results and innovation are totally unrelated to all incentive structures. You come here to let your technical chops wither and die in exchange for a decent paycheck.

      Come intern here and forget about getting a fulltime offer

      Software intern

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Stable pay and relaxed culture 2) Good amenities 3) Mixture of retail and technical leadership 4) Some nice human fellows 5) Brand name

      Cons

      - 10 percent intern to full-time conversion rate at a time when companies are striving to convert 75 percent of interns to full-time - So much politics. Managers will bring any number of people in but wont even think about hiring entry level talent. I was blatantly told no positions in the team and saw two people from India come in randomly. 3) Worst recruiters ever. Will pick any random person to interview. 4) Silos. Most of the team arent aware other teams exist. They have acquired companies just for resources. 5) Constant reorganisation. Teams in Arkansas and Sunnyvale cant mix

      Pros

      Competitive compensation, many technically strong developers, decent projects, good software development opportunities. Good ping pong. Nice (but not free) lunch. Friendly people.

      Cons

      Lots of turnover. Too many reorgs. Too many restructurings. Layoffs. Tech redirections. Over engineering. Political battles. Strange behavior. Big company woes. Hierarchical and top heavy.
