Pros

Very welcoming, very open and culture is great, diversity is good because it is not forced, it just happens naturally.

Cons

TL's or Team Leads do have Favorites, and the protect them, then they seem to go out of their way to find fault with team mates they have neutral feelings about, when it get's slow, the TL's goof off, and at team meetings, they are always focused on what will happen if you do X, cause then you will get fired. Again, the worst thing TL's do is make it known who the Favorites are, and they help them stay off the phones and don't hold them to the same Standards

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
