Pros

Excellent benefits, really the best I have seen anywhere Great culture, everyone has a lot of fun, particularly if you like ping pong Challenging work, very satisfying Fun products, cool to see stuff you work on in Best Buy

Cons

Can have heavy hours when a major release is coming up Base salary range is a little low, though the benefits tend to make up for it

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
