Pros

They used to have good perks, which were slowly removed until there were none left.

Cons

Toxic work environment, no accountability or clear direction from management; instead, a blame culture is encouraged. Incompetent and arrogant management (Dutch company). Cheap at raises and bonuses. Career advancement is near-impossible unless you are a white European male. Turnover rate is exceptionally high; expect to train people and have them leave 9 month later for a better job elsewhere. Work hours are long and workloads are very large. Unreasonable deadlines and expectations. I would also add that most of the 5-star ratings you see on this page are likely fake or made under coercion. When I worked there, we were heavily encouraged to leave a positive Glassdoor review, and when people quit we were forbidden to discuss it among our peers or hold going-away gatherings because the turnover rate was so high. Even the hiring and HR managers changed every 12 months.

Pros

Location is good and near freeway, they make a crucial technology for the world to function

Cons

Toxic environment. Selective enforcement, antisemitic DEI culture, tattle tale rat snitch employees, managers play favorites, managers move the goal post after you were supposed to earn a salary increase. too many foreigners in management and not enough americans. DEI is a joke and is run by a racist black women. Company will burn you and punish you for problems someoen else created and punish you for it despite no power to fix the issue yourself.
