Pros

Awesome campus Good perks Good pay and benefits

Cons

The company severely over-hired the last ~3 years (over half the 14000 headcount was added in that period). The lack of sufficient work of significance has created an unhealthy environment in many groups. Quite unfortunately, the influx of former Cisco people has contributed to the politicization of the company.

Cons

- Too much hierarchy involved in management, so the decisions making process can be long. - Managers want to push deadlines and sometimes put less emphasis on quality. - Many inexperience new hires that do not know how to product quality work.
