Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Starting to become very bureaucratic but still a great company
Pros: Love the people I work with, and the benefits are great.  The company is great at supporting remote work when that is possible.  Some very exciting products and a wide range of opportunities, especially if you do not mind 100% travel.
Cons: A drive to focus on filling in red yellow green boxes has in the past three years started to hurt the company.  Lack of vision and inability to effectively absorb some very technologically fine acqusitions has been depressing to watch. Work Life balance is mostly given lip service.
