Pros

As of a few years ago the company culture was collaborative, respectful, professional yet casual. The health benefits, bonuses, and the RSU grants were excellent.

Cons

The last few years the company culture has shifted to being more autocratic and new management in different areas has thrown the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to best practices and lessons learned. Some top level meetings are now chaotic and carried on in an unprofessional manner. Bonuses have been substantially reduced in the past two years, and the health benefits will be changing in 2016. There has been belt-tightening all around - including recent lay-offs.

Pros

High quality coworkers who are all driven and very intelligent. Flexible work hours and situations. Used to be great benefits, pay, workplace but some of that is changing.

Cons

The most political workplace I've ever been in. Connections seem to matter more than productivity. There are too many people with no experience in charge trying to show the business value of often intangible things. Hidebound process and business structure prevents true effectiveness.
