Pros

401K match, volunteering opportunities, work life balance is okay - at times no work and sometimes it gets crazy with urgent issues.

Cons

No snacks or drinks, no cups to drink water, free coffee that sucks, bad cafeteria, lack of motivation since they are slowly shifting everything to Houston and Taipei. Biased management - they will have parties on other site but ignore Palo Alto. Salary hikes are joke (1%-2%), bonus mostly 3%, if company does well (which is rare) then 5%. Minimum internal promotions/growth - they just hire people from outside to be managers, lots of layoffs every cycle. Extremely negative environment to work in - all my friends slowly got laid off with no replacement.

Pros

Free T-shirts, water bottles, and notepads sometimes

Cons

Chronic frustration. disingenuous, performative executives infantilize the workers. Genuinely helpful, productive, effective coworkers around you are routinely laid off. Business operations that keep the cogs turning constantly being gutted. The sales staff is left holding the bag. Maintaining a good LinkedIn ready image is more important than being effective and productive.
