Pros

Easy paycheck, cash salary is decent. If you want to coast and understand how to speak the corporate tech jargon, you should be set until for a few years until the eventual layoff

Cons

If you’re debating whether you should join this company, please take a look at the insider trading history prior to starting for the past few years. Also compare the % of float held by insiders, to the average tech company in the field. you’re essentially financing the unnecessarily bloated exec teams Aspen home by working here. Constant selling for years, followed by generous comp refreshes each quarter, for what? The C suite is a game of musical chairs, with a new Chief whatever officer for each department each quarter. These “leaders” attend a conference or two in Europe, and then take their 7 figure layoff package and ride into the sunset. I am not joking when I say there are 5 C-Level, 10 VPs and 5 “Sr.” directors for any analyst or software engineer at this company. Meanwhile if you aren’t getting an absurd refresh you’re losing 20% of stock value each year due to stock performance. This place is where talent goes to die, and is almost surely going to go bankrupt or acquired in the future. I can’t fit all of my experiences at this company into one review, but just trust me you can do better if you consider yourself a top performer.

Pros

Good pay, pretty good benefits, generally great people

Cons

Lots of change, cost cutting, and feels like it is moving from a great company for employees to another company that just wants to look good for the street.. without the stock price going up.
