Pros

The company is certainly doing well from a business perspective...but that is on the backs of their employees. Benefits are OK, but there are plenty of other companies that provide better.

Cons

VP and higher are getting incredible packages with options but the rest of the folks only get RSU's. Sebastian Gunningham received 350,000 options and I can't see why he should receive that higher number based on his overall performance.

Pros

Good pay Clean facilities Safe environment

Cons

Even though I had a bachelor's, I was never considered for management position. Hopefully you live nearby or tolls across the bridge will kill your income.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
