Pros

The company's purpose and values are inspiring. The people here are great people. They care care for customers and each other. Management is willing to take unpopular decisions and explain themselves. I feel that they are accountable for their actions and decisions.

Cons

Listening to the people who are stuck admiring a romanticized version of the past. In my opinion, these people are getting in the way of creating the future and holding back progress.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
