Pros

- work life balance - relaxed work atmosphere - very nice people to work with - big company policies but small company feel - CEO tells us all details in communication meeting

Cons

- big company but thinks like small when it comes to spending and planning - pay is average, not something to die for - very complacent attitude (recent past) - again since its small, opportunity to grow is not available in all divisions. In some divisions, only if person dies/retires, can a junior get promoted - merit raises get pushed for financial reasons. Stocks are given to compensate, but they vest only after 2 years. So you will loose in the short term - bonuses are capped at 20 hours /quarter

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
