Pros

Laid back work environment. Pretty good ESPP . 401k matching. I have a good supervisor, and I like his boss too.

Cons

They buy a lot of companies and cut a lot of good people. They say that they value their employees, well not enough to give good severance packages. Their severance is terrible, the worst I've ever seen, based on the 4 companies I've worked at. (No, I've never been cut, but I know a lot of people who have). They don't have Kaiser either, which is a first, for the companies I've worked at in the Bay Area.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
