Pros

Good opportunities for on going training and development, lots of campus amenities, and supportive work environment. Overall a positive work experience.

Cons

Compensation is less than ideal, depends on your role but with the high cost of living, it's spread pretty thin. To support business across the nation, some team members work closer to 2nd shift schedule and weekend availability is expected to support business model, not the worst but is a strain on personal and family affairs.

Pros

From the communication during the hiring process to onboarding, management, and my teammates, I feel like I sort of hit the jackpot. The hiring process itself was incredibly smooth, and the onboarding program, Launchpad, gives you the opportunity to learn about every department in the company. I feel like I'm a part of something bigger and not just siloed. As a musician and software engineer, getting to write code for products I've used for over a decade has been very rewarding.

Cons

There's definitely been a lot to learn right off the bat, but the people and resources around me have made it very manageable.
