Pros

Health Benefits are top notch - save me $20k per year in premiums and deductibles alone from previous employer plan Stock awards each year, sometimes multiple vesting dates per year Other good benefits

Cons

Time off is meh Possible swing or night shifts without extra comp 401k is average at best (50 cent son the dollar to 2%) Stock bonuses are solid, but may take years to fully vest - example $25k award this year, only $10k vests in 2023, $8k in 2024, $7k in 2025 (based on current price)

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.
