Great Pay, Poor Work Life Balance (CA Hours)

Pros

Salary, RSUs & benefits are great.

Cons

You will be expected to frequently accommodate California hours, and it's not unusual to have meetings at 7:00, 8:00, and 9:00 PM EST. There is a double standard. California employees will complain about early morning meetings and anything after 6:00 PM PST. The company feels like it was <500 middle aged men and then suddenly scaled to 10,000 people while trying to reinvent itself. The systems and processes don't align with the revenue, which leads to lots of chaos. If you're looking for a well run machine, this isn't it. This is bootstrapping your way to a $10B business. Number of vacation days and bonus percentages are low.
