Pros

Good product. Good pipeline. Fair base compensation.

Cons

Totally intransparent timing for blackout periods. And very, very long blackout periods. After quarter results are announced, there might be 2-3 weeks to trade, then it is blackout again. Total trading days during the year might be 60 or so. This makes it nearly impossible to sell shares on up days, which invariably occur only during very, very long blackout periods. They keep touting some special plan that you can set up during an open window, but it requires approvals and it also means you cannot maximize because you pick a limit price ahead of time. You have to pre-pick a value at which you want to sell and then hope the price goes that high but not higher, otherwise you have just sold for less than you otherwise could have. It is really annoying because LTIs are marketed during recruitment process and account for a big part of the total comp package.

Pros

I did think about this and the pros are we get free snacks in the kitchens. A sad pro, but I could not come how with anything else. Oh, free parking too!

Cons

How much can I write? After being in the industry for 15 years plus, I have never seen such a train wreck. I have been here for two years and it feels like 20. They work you so much and there is never a promotion. There is never a thank you. Stock equity is almost nonexistent at this point. The next few years will be tough because our pipeline has nothing coming out. They also fire and lay off people all the time. You never know if you will come in one day and have a meeting with HR that you are blindsided by. The whole place is really working like a bad startup with a founder that wants to continue being CEO and has nothing new to offer. His wife is running the company because she is at every town hall and major event. She is not even an official employee of the company, but sits in all these meetings. Something is wrong with that. There is zero culture. I kept hoping this would change, but I gave up.
