Pros

Equitable work/life balance. Some good people.

Cons

Heavily siloed, ridiculous processes, completely dysfunctional - this place makes the federal government look efficient. Despite the brand's reputation, it's a surprisingly un-American and anti-American company. The company is made up of a ton of cheap foreign labor, and is constantly offshoring American jobs. Additionally, the company uses a ton of temp/contract workers and H-1B visas. This company uses and throws away more people, faster than you would believe. The company's motto is "win the right way", which couldn't be further from the truth. This is an unethical, faceless, anti-American, globalist corporation, that only cares about the bottom line. If you are seeking employment, look elsewhere.

Pros

- Massive company - Opportunity to make career changes in the same company - Big name on the resume - Comp package is alright. Not great, not bad, just fine

Cons

- New management pulled a 180 on remote work and is now less flexible than pre-covid. - Decisions are made at very top, and nobody actually dealing with systems/programs/products has a clue until you're told in a meeting - micromanagement from the c-suite. People with VP in their title looking dumbfounded in a meeting is now commonplace. - Instability. Teams vanished, people who have been here decades let go in a 10 pm email, positions not getting backfilled, "what would you say it is that you do here" surveys circulating, combined with new management's approach, has everyone on edge and makes collaboration impossible as people hoard their responsibilities and knowledge for job security.
