Pros

The company itself is awesome!

Cons

Don't work in IT. Lower bonuses, expected to work every weekend, vacations are denied! If they don't "like" you, no opportunity to transition somewhere else, you are just fired even though it may not be a good fit and you may be valuable in another function. They will keep you in the same function, torture you, and then be told you are fired. Favoritism and hypocrisy on what managers can do versus employees.

Pros

Free snacks Leadership opportunities Stable work given current ai market You can get challenging engaging work but it comes at the cost of putting in extra hours Smart and helpful people work here

Cons

Work can a bit boring if not on something cutting edge Dev experience is pretty bad, moving xml files around that contain the actual code, proprietary low/no code platform to build products Full of Indians, diversity is a joke in engineering. It feels like a cost cutting measure more than anything else tbh Very much a checkbox mentality when building products instead of long term thinking with quality and usability Doubts about upper leaderships navigation during rise of ai Pay is nothing near what it should be, especially after stock dropped almost 40% yoy Certain internal processes are difficult for no other reason than we made them like that, lots of reaching out to people for rqts, signoffs, adjustments etc
