Pros

- Good work-life balance - Managers are understanding - People are very friendly

Cons

- Senior engineers and managers lack experience - Compensations are 🥜 (not bad salary, but too little stocks/RSUs) in respect to the work we do. - Pay grouping is odd. i.e.) Virginia is in the same pay group as SF and is higher than Seattle and Texas. - Takes forever (about 6 months to a year) to get the backfill employee, because budgets for those are "not allocated" beforehand. - Projects can be exciting, but engineers have some questionable decisions.
