Pros

Great products and generous discount. Great co-workers at the IC level.

Cons

Reactive management and planning. In just a few years, witnessed several RIFs. Pay lags behind market. Requirements to get pay increases is opaque, so expect to be stuck at your salary for the first few years, regardless of contributions. HR leadership is awful and unprofessional. The best part of working from home with Covid is not having to see these people on a regular basis. Behind on Diversity and Inclusion. It was insightful to see how the established male senior leadership treated more junior employees. I hadn't seen this much bullying since high school. It seems that the longer some employees are here, the more arrogant that they become. Note that all of the above are my opinions, derived from several years of observation.

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
