Pros

- Free Lunch and Recently added complimentary breakfast - Amazing campus around palo alto - Good atmosphere and freedom for developers to use latest technologies to do their job - Learning new stuff

Cons

- Pay isn't good. In the lesser side of the bay area margin. - WLB is ok I guess. As in any other company in the bay area. - Lot of politics around. Good idea to shut up and do your work wearing headphones. - The company doesn't seem to be doing so well. I am seeing less money being spent on employee engagement. We used to have monthly outing and stuff a few years ago but now its once in like 4-5 months. SAP normally has a yearly outing to great america but they even cancelled that this year saying they need money for "processing other employees green card". I mean who says that ? That was so bizarre. We got some horrible food trucks where it took my 2 hours to get a small slider I am not even kidding. Overall with the recent layoffs and other small things going on here and there I am not very sure about the future about this company and looks like a sinking ship.

Pros

Good work life balance over time, culture of help, good opportunities to advance and move around, decent pay, ceiling for commissions is high.

Cons

Are increasingly finding ways to dock compensation and make rules around comp confusing and unclear. Internal processes, tools, and policies are incredibly complex. Very difficult to find people to support basic customer issues. Sales becomes a catchall for customer problems, leaves little time to sell. Benefits and pay increases decline year after year.
