Tense. There's a lot of politics and backstabbing. If you have a really good manager they'll shield you from that, but your experience depends highly on their competence and ability to empathize. Most managers are stretched too thin, or are too self-interested, or are too ignorant to actually do the right thing for their employees. So most people I talk to have varying degrees of ongoing stress, political games, and being worked so hard that they burn out. In general management has a profound lack of gratitude and recognition for hard work. If you're going to make it there you have to self-promote like mad, and focus on optics rather than your actual job duties. And most of all take care of your own mental and physical health because they'll unapologetically rob you of those things if you let them.

Very dog eat dog. If this is your personality to do more politics and stepping on others to move up the chain than to dig into the quality of your work and REAL merit of your results, this is the company for you. The company is very cautious of PR to ensure that customers and the stock market believe that this is a great company with a great culture of "working hard and making history", it's smoke and mirrors-you work hard and make history for those at the top. People would be shocked to see the horrible internal workings of the company and the culture.

Culture varies widely from team to team. Great opportunity to create an impact in most teams, fast pace, and a high bar for excellence.
