Pros

Great initial salary and RSUs

Cons

Lack of management with a rotating door of managers coming from high profile companies. They take their one years with of promised stock RSUs and then leave after doing nothing during their tenure. Was there for 3 years and never saw a raise and the RSUs are completely worthless.
