      A once-great company being run into the ground by senior management.

      Pros

      Free soda. Mostly a comfortable work environment. They usually don't skimp on hardware.

      Cons

      Review process has sucked for a long time. Career advancement can hinge entirely on who your direct manager is. In some areas there are 3 people to do the job of 12. Also, as a flip side to the comfortable work environment, some groups are so space-constrained that people are doubling or tripling up in offices.

      Pros

      -Great name to be on the resume -Great products and smart people to work with -Flexible working hours and private working space

      Cons

      -Political environment.... You have to be able to talk... even talk about something one is not deserved. -Too many layers and bureaucratic... hard to make a change. Making a minor often means going through several of teams and many months. Frustrating when you really try to make an impact. -No respect between different teams.

      Pros

      The office environment was great. Between free food and drinks, plenty of individual office space, and good cafeterias with healthy meal choices, it was always a pleasure to come to work. Additionally, the flexibility of wardrobe and working hours made it feel like a real software company

      Cons

      It felt like there was a pretty low ceiling for advancement. By and large, it felt as though there was an us versus them attitude between developers and product managers. Mostly, it felt difficult to rise above doing basic development work.
