Pros

Salary initially "appeared" to be ok

Cons

* Salary is good but you'll be worked very hard. Expect to work 80-100 hours plus per week. * Most people work from home which has many cons: 1) Inability to learn from colleagues 2) Out of sight - out of mind, therefore you're not going to be missed if they decide to layoff employees, 3) It tends to attract many parents so you'll have to work around them taking the kids to school, hospital etc 4) Since it's a global company, expect to have meetings at 1am and/or 5am frequently. You will never be able to get a proper nights sleep and you can forget about seeing friends and family while you're working here. * The company cares far more about its share price than its employees - so they don't mind mass layoffs * Since you're most likely to work from home, you may never meet the people you're working with so they're more likely to not care if they're rude or degrading

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
