Pros

Truly functions by the Leadership Principles in all aspects of the work Rehires talent (even after extended personal hiatus) Takes time to build a team (at least they do on my team)

Cons

There continues to be a trend of people forging ahead and creating something "new" without checking around to see if that something exists already. (Duplication of effort that creates competition)

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
