Pros

Quite a few good smart engineers and the product itself is interesting to work on. The company has had strong growth and provides above average benefits.

Cons

Extremely week engineering management from the Director Level and up. Much is run by those who have grown up with the company but they have failed to grow their management skills and so all the teams suffer. Use of a date engineering process has been less than successful.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
