      Pros

      Work life balance. Benefits. Compensation. Campus. Spacious offices.

      Cons

      Poor management at multiple levels which will ultimately destroy this company as it rots the company from the inside and ensures the company capture the best from its people and dampens their drive. Too many folks within mid and senior management who are more focused on their own careers, protecting their own highly comped jobs VS looking out for what is best for the company. If you are a capable person who is motivated to work hard and enjoys building something and working / leading a motivated team - look elsewhere.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exposure to many technical disciplines Knowledge cross-pollenation is pervasive and helpful Trial-by-fire approach forces skill development

      Cons

      Way too much focus on handling inbound issues, and not actually solving them Unequal workload distribution and rampant favoritism Many promises of advancement opportunities, in reality vapor and manipulation Way too much dobulespeak on "culture" values, while grinding people down, disallowing remote work potential, nothing but a sweatshop call center.

      Pros

      Great technology, great people... fun to be a part of something that is growing so rapidly and so well known in the industry. Rapid pace and lots to do. Great focus on personal growth and development.

      Cons

      Starting to show signs of an old school tech company that is getting slowed down in the paperwork and has too many people making too many processes to make processes.
