Mixed feelings

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salaries, package, office, team.

Cons

Strategy changes every several months, instability, insecurity. Projects get stopped mid-way to change direction; frequent re-orgs; layoffs > low morale. Too many management layers. Often managers are not co-located with the team. Lots of politics, favoritism. No sense of doing something useful and meaningful as quite likely your project or even the entire product will be killed, because it does not fit this month's company strategy.

Very hard to grow

Business Outlook

Pros

Well defined vision that clearly trickles down, good amenities, nice offices with exceptional locations

Cons

Extremely difficult to get promoted and deflated job titles. Expect to be a manager forever with virtually no line to grow in seniority in title due to the de-emphasis on titles and promotions. When change happens, the people already in charge get the opportunities. It's almost impossible to become a director unless you come in externally.
