Pros

+Yearly bonus — Small and they’d use accounting loopholes to weasel out of a full bonus each year. +Stock options — RSUs to satiate the lack of full bonuses or raises. +Work from home — sure they’ll want as many people back in person once the pandemic clears up enough.

Cons

-5 day work week for most weeks of the year. They offer a Friday off for “wellness” once a month or so. -lots of meaningless employee programs designed to give a sense of community when that money could be better spent in the bank accounts of the employees. -typical cringey corporate bs: buzzwords, meeting overload, the need to be friends with co-workers..
