Avantages

Great benefits, few talented people, free soda.

Inconvénients

Legacy and proprietary garbage will ruin your day and your desire to live as you count the hours in your little chicken coop/cubicle. For goodness' sake, they still use ClearCase! Java based stack is proprietary with SOAP suck-vices ruling the roost. There are rumors of a better stack in the works but it also is proprietary. Also, svc control is non-existent and any random doofus can call your code without anyone the wiser until you get pulled into troubleshooting live issues overnight. Morons with their tiny little fiefdoms will block you at every turn. Worst of all are the tinpot QA people who will blame you first to ensure that their lack of testing ability doesn't come up when yet another live bug comes up. This place is where know-nothing failures and H1B indentured servants come to lose their soul. Stay the heck away unless you have no talent or desire to grow. Goodbye eNay, I made sure the door didn't hit me on my posterior on the way out.

Avantages

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Inconvénients

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
