Pros
The people before the Dell sale: During the Dell days people worked closely with each other and that turned into the feeling of a family The "Good" benefits: Matching 401k but up to only up to certain amount Commuting benefits if you need it Vision was good since every company I know uses VSP You can accrue up to 3 weeks of paid time off but good luck using them 2 weeks of personal time (sick time, going to see medial appointments) Bagel Wednesdays Ice cream Fridays Dinner nightly but its mainly for the engineers, there may be leftovers but I'd think twice before taking some Not much else
Cons
Where to start... There is no work/life balance as they run the company as lean as possible - just a warning that you may get a phone call after you leave the office Management wants the company to have a silicon valley vibe but wants you in the office everyday as they don't trust that you really are doing work at home The management is abysmal most of the time, there are rare flashes of lights that was inspiring but fades rather quickly A lot of the time management will change processes not understanding what was driving the work There are these grand plans that management wants to do but it gets pushed down to the already overworked people below No career growth here; even if management would talk to you about it, it'll go no where The pay here is not very competitive with the bay area at all The rest of the benefits are the worst thing I have ever seen: Medial is a joke - the insurance broker tries to haggle for a better deal on your behalf but I ended up paying more than the prior carrier Dental denied teeth cleaning No wellness plan to promote healthy living No cellphone reimbursement so don't brother putting your work email on your personal device Unless you're coming in as a manager or higher you're just here for a paycheck while looking for a better opportunity
