Pros

- Amazing coworkers—smart, collaborative, and great to work with. - Competitive benefits package, on par with other tech companies. - The new Austin office is a great space in a good location. - Compensation, including RSUs, salary, and bonuses, is competitive.

Cons

- Career advancement can be slow, and promotions are not easy to come by. - The company is still very San Jose-centric, which can be challenging for distributed teams. - Leadership is highly focused on deliverables, sometimes at the expense of long-term strategy or employee development.
