Pros

Most employees I met are competent and friendly. Physically, the corporate HQ building is very modern and nice with outstanding views. The location is commute friendly from nearly everywhere in the bay area. The onsite cafe has good food and Peet's coffee. Fountain drinks are free. Usually 12-14 paid holidays per year. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Too much mandatory vacation. Stock options and RSUs no longer given to most employees outside engineering. Foster City office shrinking, most hiring done in other locations. Hard to get budget for, well, anything.
