Pros

Strong work-life balance, solid pay and benefits, very smart teammates, and good managers at the team level. Lots of stability for a big public company, and some genuinely interesting problems in the acquired products. If you like structure and predictability, it’s a comfortable place to build a career.

Cons

Very slow decision-making, many layers of approvals, and a heavy process culture that makes it hard to move quickly or experiment. Tech stacks and tools can feel dated, and it’s easy to get stuck in meetings instead of building. Innovation is talked about a lot, but actual risk-taking tends to be limited.

Pros

You are able to obtain Enterprise level experience

Cons

The company is super liberal. There were hostile political efforts forced by corporate. The company tried to be a tech company, but was overran with poor technical staff. I had a great manager who left, and got stuck with poor management.
