Pros

- Hybrid/remote work depending on position and manager - Office space with free food - Semi-competitive salary

Cons

- ZARS has no value - Extremely hostile work environment - Upper management is disorganized and lack empathy You can be fired for anything, literally. People come and go because the rules/policies are manipulated. Someone you worked with one week can disappear the next with nobody to continue their work. There are no steady policies, and training is nonexistent. Middle managers heavily power trip. I urge any prospective employees to read every review and find the common denominators. As a point of reference, when I joined the company, it was sitting at 4.3/5 compared to the 3.6-3.7/5 now in a timespan of about a year. That should tell you something.

Pros

Best things in sequence - Food (breakfast, lunch, dinner), Very nice office environment, not high-pressure performance stress, mostly slow. I am very optimistic about their future.

Cons

Pay is on the lower side; most engineers are imported from Michigan - but still they say we are in Bay Area for the Talent lol. They don't always hire the best of the bunch - Interview is easy overall. Hiring friends/friends of friends might be a thing, who knows. Employee retention is an issue.
