Pros

Good work-life balance. Good atmosphere. Good management/leadership. Lots of experienced engineers that are willing to take their time and help/teach you. Stable company with good corporate structure. Very transparent leadership. Interesting projects and learning opportunities for new engineers.

Cons

Compensation. While the quarterly bonuses and 401k matching are a nice extra, they do not offset the below average base salary. Likewise, the RSUs are a very good package, but they do not translate to cash immediately and you have to work years to accumulate a decent number but this does offset the low base salary. Being an engineer in the NY site but being paid the same salary as the engineers in the AZ site is not fair because the cost of living in NY is significantly higher which makes it very difficult to get by with the low base salary. Likewise, raises dont seem to be very popular and are the bare minimum if given.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
