Pros

Excellent benefits. Work life balance, but do expect some meetings to be held at wee hour.

Cons

Promotion may be super difficult depending on the team and the colleagues you work with. Base pay is below market. Ridiculously low annual salary review (regardless performance), probably the lowest increment I ever had in my entire career life (16 yrs). Stock option no longer attractive.

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

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.
