Avantages
Not many at all after 13 years other than employment in Silicon Valley when jobs are scarce.
Inconvénients
Very low pay. Was able to get a contract position within 4 weeks paying 25% MORE than what I was making when I was let go (after 13 years) No respect for employees with any tenure, experience or product knowledge After 13 years of employment, a "group" of us were walked out in March, 2016. The direct managers didn't know. I received 2 weeks of severance for 13 years of service. Benefits are very bad and expensive. They are based on what's available at the corporate offices on the east coast, not what's here in California (words direct from HR). There is minimal communication. The quarterly BBQ's are always 'business is good and steady'. Upper management has no regard for how the product is developed and built. They then take incorrect information from those close to them which is inaccurate. Very frustrating trying to communicate upwards so accurate detail, problems, proposed solutions are heard.... the just do it because I said so...... attitude is prevalent.
