What went well

Talented colleagues, complex high-impact work, and strong pay.

What could be improved

Layoffs are driving how people behave, there's a lot of politics, and job insecurity is hurting morale.

What went well

Top-of-market pay, real autonomy, and workable balance on some teams.

What could be improved

Constant pressure and rigid top-down direction. The internal tooling is so custom that the skills don't always carry over to other companies.

What went well

Plenty of work to do, friendly and smart people, and reasonable balance.

What could be improved

Everything is heavily metrics driven, and it can be hard working somewhere so many people distrust.

What went well

Good pay, a clear career ladder, and perks like food and shuttles.

What could be improved

Stress, poor work-life balance, layoffs and uncertainty, and a culture centered on performance ratings.

What went well

Hot new products, top pay, and strong benefits.

What could be improved

Balance, direction that keeps shifting, frequent reorgs, and benefits being cut back.
