Pros

Great products and generous discount. Great co-workers at the IC level.

Cons

Reactive management and planning. In just a few years, witnessed several RIFs. Pay lags behind market. Requirements to get pay increases is opaque, so expect to be stuck at your salary for the first few years, regardless of contributions. HR leadership is awful and unprofessional. The best part of working from home with Covid is not having to see these people on a regular basis. Behind on Diversity and Inclusion. It was insightful to see how the established male senior leadership treated more junior employees. I hadn't seen this much bullying since high school. It seems that the longer some employees are here, the more arrogant that they become. Note that all of the above are my opinions, derived from several years of observation.

Pros

You get the opportunity to work with smart people who as passionate about music. Competitive employee health benefits.

Cons

Management turns a blind eye to internal issues, tenured managers who don't live the company values, no 401K matching, growing pains, company gets in its own way of success, hire good individual contributors who shouldn't be managing teams, and constant reminders of how the employees aren't meeting the unattainable standards that the company has set for the fiscal year.
