Pros

Fancy building with nap pods, food, and an arcade.

Cons

Literally everything else was a con. If you're a female, look elsewhere. This is a very "good ol boy" driven business. I've watched managers make female engineers cry and try to physically scare them. Personally experienced yelling and cursing every day for about a year. For all I learned, it wasn't worth the torture. And be prepared for yearly layoffs.

Pros

Fully remote, collaboration is excellent with Sales and Engineering teams. Nice people.

Cons

Onboarding was awful. Tend to turnover people frequently, always around April and October, which coincides with their fiscal year. HR people are never the same for very long. Medical benefits are ok. Questionable ethics in the Legal & Compliance Dept of all places. It's evidenced with all the legal counsel they have hired, there are more of them than there are customer service people it seems. It pays the bills, but it's not a job one should count on for long term. It seems the strategy is hire with high pay, but let go within a year. Seen it happen to many people.
