Pros

The stock price is ridiculous! When you join they give you a nice sign on bonus as well as restricted stock units.

Cons

One of the Leadership Principle is Frugality and boy do they take that seriously! They are so cheap about everything! The medical benefits package, employee discount, PTO and Vacation is way below average. I'm so shocked that a company this size doesn't put more effort into taking care of their employees. The pay is NOT competitive at all. Basically you join this company for the brand name and adding it to your resume.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
