Pros

Fantastic benefits, good pay (although they seem to be offering lower amounts now), and good work life balance. Very diverse and welcoming to people of all backgrounds. I love a majority of the people I work with.

Cons

Management quality has gone down FAST. Losing 4 to 5 of our longest serving leaders in the area, some through retirement and some through lay offs or unexpected reorgs. Communication by upper management is horrible, and they seem to be really picky about who they offer opportunities to move up. It wasn't like this even 2 years ago. The work-load assignments are really off. Some writers are managing multiple products and multiple tasks, while others are managing only one small product (and are wasting a lot of time in their free time bothering others). No pay increase this year (although we got bonuses). This is seen very negatively by the employees when the C-suite folks went to Mexico very recently...

Pros

Good days are gone and in the past

Cons

The work environment in the product group has become challenging due to the recent changes in engineering leadership. There is a lack of a safe and open space for discussions, and team members are not treated equally. It is disheartening to see favoritism play a role in opportunities and recognition, with certain individuals getting preferential treatment. In some cases, the new leaders have made sarcastic comments towards other engineers and made their work environment worse, which is not conducive to a professional atmosphere. There appears to be a lack of strong leadership and vision, which is impacting the team’s ability to attract and retain top talent. Best team members have chosen to leave and some left already, and whoever left for their lack of skills only return to the company later in higher roles and with better compensation, while those who have been consistently contributing to the product’s success do not see similar internal growth opportunities.

Pros

Good, inspiring mission but that’s about it now. Tech was strong but not expanding or growing well.

Cons

Bad management, too much political discourse and too many leadership changes.
