Pros
- Flexible work hours - Choice of full remote, hybrid or full on-site - Talented employees - Profit sharing typically between 5% and 15% - RSU grants can be earned as an additional reward - Employee stock purchase plan with 15% discount - Somewhat competitive pay (but typically well below other similar employers)
Cons
- CEO and CFO rely on layoffs every year, for the past several years, to meet shareholder expectations rather than focusing on engineering to roll out new product. Just completed a round of layoffs this month and have already announced another round for 2025. - Very low moral due to extreme job uncertainty - Many key people earning higher salaries have been let go or are jumping ship (brain drain) - Product Engineering VP out of touch with ICs, engineers are struggling and unable to keep up with work demands resulting in high rates of burnout. She frequently changes directions and leadership is erratic at best.
