good compensation and benefits but sad place to work
Pros: like the flexibility/ work from home or office choice, campus in redwood shores is nice, specifically gym and good food in the cafeterias. that's about it
Cons: the work environment doesn't promote initiative and creativity, too much process and bureaucracy, internal tools are slow, buggy and UI is terrible for most of them, but most people have  to use them a lot on daily basis - huge impact on overall productivity and even morale. No ability for employees to assess their management, overall management level is poor comparing to the other companies I've worked for. Fear or commanding management style is common. Most people on campus look sad or depressed, no positive vibe. Got here via acquisition and hope to get out asap, have few friends working here - everyone hates it and looking for an outside opportunity.
