Pros

- Growth in terms of valuation is inspiring - Payout very likely, personally seeing 7 figures/yr with current trajectory. - Some interesting challenges at times

Cons

- Culture is dead - Extremely toxic management - Psychological safety is non-existent. Multiple people have been fired for voicing any kind of concerns. (Across all orgs) - Most people are stuck in the 1990's or early 2000's (Across all orgs) - You will need to negotiate very hard to get enough stock to make it worth it - Most people are at the company purely for the money and will sacrifice their entire soul for it. Integrity is not a word anyone knows. - The corporate types have taken over heavily and have no interest in WLB. - All of this applies in almost all divisions in Palo Alto. - I've worked at quite a few places and this might be the worst in terms of environment. You start asking yourself how much a year of your life is worth in $$$.

The people Colleagues are among the best; professional, down to earth, and genuinely caring.

Cons

We're a very fast-paced environment, which I thrive in, but it can sometimes make it hard to slow down and be as strategic as I'd like.
