Pros

Wonderful, smart people. Lots of great energy. I don't mind going to work each day. Compensation packages are nice and unlimited PTO. Stocked kitchens, coffee shop, juice bar, spa - all the 'tech' company perks. Most managers are good and trying hard to keep morale up and work meaningful... but see the cons.

Cons

No clear direction from the CEO. Not motivating, feels reactive. Still making decisions to address immediate needs, not very forward thinking. Fragmented strategic initiatives that are not well communicated down to the worker bees.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
