Pros

401k, PTO, Annual bonus,

Cons

glass ceiling, favoritism, lies from management regarding promotions to unworthy candidates, poor communication with upper management. Work overload. No work/life balance. Focus on metrics with disregard for employee happiness. Forced daily overtime due to work load. forced nights and weekends. poor communication between departments. Poor opportunity for advancement as they will collude with selected employees resign so they may be immediately re-hired as "outside hires." It's simply smoke, mirrors, and lies at every turn.

Pros

The pay is good and benefits

Cons

Metrics are almost impossible, people went out on mental disability all the time from the stress and a man died from a heart attack while at work one day, no prior heart issues.

Pros

Good campus which I bet you will never have time to enjoy if you are a lead developer

Cons

I dont know where to start. In short management wants everything then and there although there are processes already defined by the company. In other words they say somehow make it work. And bonus point is no matter how industrious you are and how technical you are and witty in doing the things by surpassing the processes you will end up working literally 80 hours a week most of the weeks.
