Pros
The people are pretty nice.
Cons
This company markets itself as a tech-forward, wellness-driven, innovative paradise with "world class" facilities, "industry-leading" innovation, and a culture built on collaboration. The reality? Regularly clogged toilets, outdated tools, and a culture of dysfunction. Compensation is below average. Many advertised perks fall short of expectations. Considering the company’s new slogan “Inspiring the world to work out” one would expect some sort of fitness-related perk like an on-site gym, wellness perks, or even gym membership reimbursement. The PTO policy is outdated, rewarding company loyalty over career experience. Opportunities for professional development are minimal. There is no structured career path and whatever “goals” system or other new HR program that gets rolled out is just another checkbox in a long list of hollow initiatives that are never fully realized. Leadership appears detached from day-to-day realities. Decisions are frequently made without adequate planning or clear understanding of long-term impact. Over the years, downsizing has stretched teams thin while expectations remain unchanged, leading to burnout. Lab space and resources have been significantly reduced, making it increasingly difficult for engineers to meet the same expectations with fewer tools and support. The culture follows the logic that it’s more cost-effective to put out fires that keep happening rather than preventing them. When things go wrong, it becomes an all-hands situation that derails current project to patch urgent issues only for the same problems to repeat down the line. Over time, it stops being surprising and becomes part of how the company operates.
