Pros

Really great people and incredible benefits. We make cool stuff and we’re very good at it. They take very good care of their employees...box lunches for everyone everyday, bonus program. And of course a very complete set of healthcare benefits.

Cons

12 month, new employee “Assimilation Plan” with deliverables at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 360 days. Yep, part of the on-boarding process for new employees includes a 45 slide PowerPoint deck given to you by your manager. Seems that all of the managers have gone to the same school of management and have read the same books. Kind of cult-ish. Work/Life balance is the exception not the rule.

Pros

Senior Leadership truly care about their employees, as well as society. This is the number one reason to work here. Stock options and ESPP have been amazing, huge returns. Really smart, amazing and just good people to work with. Cutting edge technology is just cool!

Cons

Don't let them convince you to come on board at a lower level with the promise of great opportunities. They won't make significant position jumps internally, even if you've been at higher levels at other employers prior. Seems to be significant hiring from outside, especially for senior positions, rather than recruiting from within. Sad, the people that got them here I guess are not worthly of continuing the journey.
