Pros

- Kitchen is stocked - Lunch provided

Cons

- Managers intention is not to grow Employees. Lots of politics and if you can play that well, this place wont be suffocating. - Micro Management - Funnily when i left, I spoke to HR and told them the reason I am leaving is my manager and the response I got was "You are the 3rd person leaving for the same reason" - They dont do anything to change the culture of the place. But when they are interviewing you, they provide this amazing picture of the company and culture which is not true. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
