Pros

Clear goal and company mission which will help to achieve targets Great environment and collaboration. The people working here is best and makes you want to come back every day!

Cons

I haven't had luck with my manager but cannot talk about the rest... I don't see much manager trainings. There are guidelines for performance reviews, goals and regular check-ins with your manager but in practice that doesn't happen often. Haven't had any skip level either. No feedback culture and communication with employees has room for improvement. I don't see much room for career development but that may be my department. Cannot speak for the others. 401K match is 50% and the capping was reduced from 4K to 2K this year, so not nice. Bonus never gets to 100% and it has been recently paid through vested RSUs so you don't get cash, but you can sell shares. Not ideal. RSU's vesting is 4 years vesting annually. It doesn't compare to other Bay Area companies where majority is 3 years with vestings every 4-6 months.

Pros

Almost all people you worked with

Cons

I would not recommend the QE department to anyone. The new director is the least effective manager I have worked with. Since taking over, she has significantly disrupted both the QE and development teams while implementing her own strategy, which has not delivered the expected results. From my perspective, team performance and morale have declined, and the company's stock price has fallen substantially during this period.
