Pros

Great campus to work at. Gardens and trees are always maintained. Good perks such as cafeteria and fitness classes available. Collegues are friendly and willingly to help anyone when needed. The company encourages learning by offering seminars and classes to all employees. It's kind of a semi academic culture, where most everyone is well respected. Definitely not a cut throat company. Collegues will offer advice when needed.

Cons

Palo Alto site is closing. Company is losing plenty of talent due to their Genentech offer.

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
