Pros

Salary, multicultural environment, Office location.

Cons

Poor management with no clear vision and a strong fear of decision-making. Company culture and values exist mostly on paper and are not reflected in day-to-day work. Most managers focus on protecting themselves rather than enabling their teams. There is very little room for healthy confrontation, even on technical matters. People rarely speak up, and risk-taking is discouraged unless you are willing to do it entirely on your own. Do not be blinded by the lunar mission — the internal reality does not match the ambition.

Pros

Unmatched PTO at any US company for all staff. 15 holidays, +2 floating, 18 vacation days, 6 sick days. Excellent compensation, plus moderate 401k match. Many great, intelligent engineers at a peer level, though many were recently let go.

Cons

Leadership has no idea what they are doing or how to achieve anything. They do not listen to bottom up feedback nor do they seem to think more than a few weeks ahead. There is a severe lack of vision, and even when there is a vision there is no one capable to of defining a realistic path to that vision. There is exactly one person above the team lead level that has a plan and can execute on it. This leads to unrealistic timelines, poor technical decisions (because engineers are ignored), and very high attrition. This office will soon be a business office only if things don't change.
