Always downsizing

Recommend

Pros

mostly great people. global peers and personalities. okay benefits, respectful of work life balance. good products that make a difference to its consumers.

Cons

no job security or growth opportunity. a slightly better chance if you are really good with only kissing up to upper management and treating peers and anyone not upper management as dirt. company is always downsizing and laying off US and other prominent country employees to leverage cheaper labor in even cheaper countries that have less employee protection.
