Pros

Company makes decent product investment decisions. Good experience in the industry is benefiting all groups.

Cons

Seem to be running the place down.The nice coffee machines disappeared, choice of food reduced and prices going up in the cafe, no onsite car mechanic/detailing services any more, landscaping is reduced, etc. Sucks to see a once fun nice and place being driven to the ground. Seem to have no pride any more. Obvious boys club, bizarre promotions happening, which is not good for the business with such people in charge. If you suck up to a VP, you get the gig. Our actual talented people with integrity are heading away.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
