Pros

Great work life balance (varying team to team). Good catered food.

Cons

Compensation is confusing and lacking compared to peers. Often a sense of lack of confidence in company direction/leadership. Definitely has lost start up culture and a lot of bureaucracy around compensation and promotions now.

Pros

Best things in sequence - Food (breakfast, lunch, dinner), Very nice office environment, not high-pressure performance stress. I am very optimistic about their future.

Cons

Pay is on the lower side; most engineers are imported from Michigan - but still they say we are in Bay Area for the Talent lol. They don't always hire the best of the bunch - Interview is easy overall. Hiring friends/friends of friends might be a thing, who knows. Employee retention is an issue.
