Pros

Having over 45,000 employees there are many wonderful people to work with across business units. Nice 401K match. Benefits are on par with what you would expect from a company. Some teams in IT can finally do a work from home day with a lot of conditions in place.

Cons

Too many managers within each department resulted in several barely contributing to the company goals, typically common to see direct reports picking up the slack, with no credit for the efforts. It was not uncommon to see managers take credit to receive 10k bonuses EOY. Why some teams consisting of 6-10 people have two managers is beyond me. Some managers were instructed not to give anything over a 3 out of 5 for most bonus opportunities. Managers are rarely held accountable with employees being blamed for projects being late. Outsourcing is becoming more popular within the company, especially with Oracle. Acquisitions have also resulted in several job cuts.

Pros

- Education benefits (but access/support depends on your manager) - Flexible workplace (work hours/wfh) - Diverse workforce.

Cons

- Does not support employee promotions. Very difficult to get promoted if you are not an engineer. - Low pay, salary increases depend on manager. For the past couple years, most employees did not even receive adjustment for inflation. - Constantly loses top talent because management is unwilling to invest to keep good employees.
