Pros
- great people, they do a pretty good job of hiring people who would fit in with the team so people like to work together - work life balance and benefits are solid, but cafeteria and gym are not free - lots of young people - put on nice events once in a while (star wars showings every year, company meetings, etc.) - stocks and unlimited PTO
Cons
- management lacks training and self-awareness - no real feedback or way to give constructive criticism; feedback system is mostly for giving each other compliments for visibility - promotion standards are not aligned across the company, I have friends who got promoted within their first year, but on my team no one was promoted for 2 years - XO is not a transferrable skill for software developers and I believe it hinders if not hurts your career - at least on my team, it felt like my individual career and growth was not important as long as the team pushed out work and the work was not stimulating or matched any of our talented team members’ strengths - location
