Pros

Laid back and young engineers ..good learning environment . A lot of stuff to learn and can get overwhelming at first but I think it pays off well after the first year.

Cons

Pay is less compared to other companies.company is getting bigger and bigger and the corporate structure is kicking in slowly ..creating confusion among departments and rivalry.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
