Pros

Good Benefits- medical, dental, stock options (for management), matching 401(k), exercise facility. Opportunities for training and building your personal skills. The company is full of intelligent people to learn from. A good place to learn about how internet business works. Very fast paced organization, never a dull moment.

Cons

Bloated infrastructure and organization. Change is slow and by the time it happens is often outdated. Executive buy-in on projects is difficult to maintain throughout the life of projects especially large long term projects. Lot's of red tape to cut through to get projects approved, too many departments. Very few opportunities for career advancement.

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
