Pros

The compensation is OK and is slightly higher than some of its competitors. There are good snacks in the kitchen. The product is interesting.

Cons

Non existent HR policies. The HR is more like a bullying organization to keep people silent despite management abuse. Very bad treatment of employees by the management. It is a very political organization. In fact I would say this is one of the most political companies for the size. There is mistrust between Seattle and San Jose employees.

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.
