Pros
Big growth in recent years. Must give credit to that. Money investment done well. Partner management done well.
Kontras
Top leaders-middle layer-employees structure is more like 20-60-20. The company is a money making machine for top management And the HUGE crowd of middle management. They are like 80% of the company. A typical place where only non management staffs do the real work to build the products. Many managers are slackers. Top leaders are inspirational speakers. They make you trust, admire them so much, but when it comes to Feedback, Deliver, management is the only one who is giving Feedback, and employees are the only ones who do delivering. The company is also a former Washington Mutual 'mafia' occupied place. WaMus are very exclusive, causing an awkward situation where you are not welcome to be part of it, neither you can have a different voice. Awkward. Juniors, consider yourself warned, unless you want to become a useless person who is only good at politics, do not join. Your managers speak about you as such : do not tell these kids that they can get more salary somewhere else or they will all leave. You know someone who really care about your career or really smart does not talk like that.
