Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former

Nice staff, very institutional/corporate leadership, overall dated/declining feeling.
Pros: Friendly, helpful staff.
Very accommodating culture. For example transgender, disabled people welcomed and accommodated as far as I could see.
Despite the technology weaknesses, it is still a "big tech" company and does make use of modern technologies / practices, open source, large scale projects etc. although it rarely pioneers them itself.
Room to progress and if you want a reasonably stable career with a solid foundation it offers that.
Cons: Bad salary compared to other big tech.
Aging, technical debt heavy technology.
Seeming lack of investment/vision/drive to properly take on the large problems their technology purports to address.
"It's a career" rather than "rapid progress" feel.
Corporate in many ways.
Always trying to "adopt" and catch up. Rarely hear of new breakthroughs coming from inside like other big tech (there are a few exceptions).
