Pros

Overall good place. A lot depends on the unit you're in. If lucky you can be in a team where initiative is valued and you can change things

Cons

The salaries are below the market

Pros

depending on the kind of work/product you get to work on. some teams have extreme politics where even the VP holds no power if the engineering manager has contacts in Japan.

Cons

hike cycle is bad. politics at its peaks.
