Pros

Great work/life balance in engineering. Personal issues always came first on my team.

Cons

The company has changed hands multiple times in the last few years, and it shows in the disorganized management, and lack of direction. The recent lay-offs were very poorly handled. They gave us about zero minutes of warning and some people were mistakenly sent to the wrong meetings. Also, the list of people was clearly put together by someone who was disconnected from the teams.
