Was a great company but became too big and management top heavy
Pros
IPO stock options given were very generous. There were a lot of good people at the company who really believed in the products and culture. They had a shuttle bus service and free meals for a while, but all of that ended.
Cons
Subsequent stock offerings were laughable. compared to management compensation. Time-off policy was good, but manager would black out the majority of the year, preventing me from taking time off (subsequently, I found out this was illegal). Advancements in your career are considered lateral moves by management, and although you are taking on much larger workloads, your pay does not increase. I actually had a manager say "Be happy you have a job." Wow, that is encouraging! Management was extremely top heavy, with not enough staff to handle the day-to-day business needs.
