      Pros

      Understanding team/manager. Flexible working hours Stipend Sabbatical Unlimited Vacation Career growth opportunities

      Cons

      As everyone suggested, the base pay is under average compared to the industry which makes it harder for employees to stick around even though they like the company. Promotions may take time SDET has to do manual testing as well which some times takes most of the time leaving less time for automation, this makes the work not interesting. Very less QA across the organization which makes it hectic sometimes.

      Pros

      Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

      Cons

      Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
