Pros

The work life balance is good for the reason above. Work will mostly come in a waves but for the most part it is an easy 9-5 job. Everyday you can relive the scene from "The Expert". *Google it* Subsidized dinner - $5 off of any meal

Cons

The management is dysfunctional with no goal Zero transparency on future products and revenue No one takes responsibility of their actions and focuses on blaming the next guy down corporate ladder. The smart and creative engineers leave within 2 years of joining Strong emphasis on collecting data that doesn't make any sense Politics drives this company. This place is toxic and poor for new graduates The motto of speed of light is ridiculous. This is just a term used by management when they realized when the project encounters a major setback because they sacrificed too much quality for unrealistic deadlines and cost. Typically results in engineers (individual contributors) to work on the weekend.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
