Pros

Very good pay, opportunity to learn a lot technically!!

Cons

This company, right from the lower rung to the upper leadership, is full of pathological liars who preach lofty values in the form of leadership principles, but will not practice any of them in reality. So, anyone going there or already there, do not get deceived by these lies. For example, they talk a lot about customer focus but in my personal experience, they kept lying to the customer promising certain features in their service, even though they knew very well that the promised time line is not realistic. They kept lying just to keep the billions of dollars worth contract!! They also talk about ownership, meaning own a problem and find a solution. Do not put it on others. In this case, I tried to find a solution to the customer's problem, but the leadership stopped me saying it was not our problem. So, this company is full of hypocrisy and liars.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
