Pros

PTO (maxed out at 6 hours earning per check). Stock options Medical

Cons

They push their employees to burnout. You'll never stay on the job you're hired on. You will be required to support other lines of business when they are in the red. HR, is less then helpful. Leadership is full of nepotism. If you enjoy being gaslit, come work here. They don't follow their own rules. Corporate allows stakeholders to run the company. They do not care about sellers. They do not care about their employees, and are more worried about allowing AI to take jobs to save money. You'll be forced to work shifts you can't. Based on their performance shift bid policy. Performance based bonuses and shift bids are hindered by the site not working, terrible policies and a lack of employees to cover business needs. I despise it here!

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
