Pros

-base salary and RSUs are competitive -most everyone are highly qualified and are trying to do their best work -standard silicon valley tech perks: fitness, food, beer/wine, VIP visits -lots of courses to improve tech or soft skills -improv classes!! -management tries to be transparent to the whole company

Cons

- since company isn't GAAP profitable many ancillary benefits aren't up to the level of Google or Facebook. 401K is an easy example. shuttle bus routes are limited and buses can be unreliable....3 breakdowns in one day even. - culture and bureaucracy is slightly changing with the number of employees skyrocketing from ~2000 to ~3500 in the past two years. - There have been many re-orgs in the engineering Org recently. This brings a sense of uncertainty to some. - feedback and comp systems and procedures go through constant change every six months. Hopefully they will settle on one system and schedule soon.
