Strong perks but low compassion

Pros

When Jeff was there, I saw a lot of potential and true compassion for the employees. It's hard to do with such a huge company, but it was felt. The company also offers incredible compensation and amazing perks!

Cons

The way Ryan and the C-suite handled the diversity issues was disgusting. All talk, no action. Very fake. Listen to your very small pool of diverse employees... they want opportunity equally and equitably, not just because they are from a minority group. They/we deserve that. Leadership made it uncomfortable for all. Additionally, the lack of compassion from the c-suite and senior leadership regarding the layoffs was honestly quite shocking. It was inevitable and understandable that it happened, but Jeff would have never allowed it to be done the way it was. Why did we all wake up to a middle of the night email and a post on LinkedIn to the public from our CEO? You respect our employees but not enough to handle it inernally first. Do better. And then to share that it was not based on performance. So tell me... what was it based on? Favoritism by the Director level... that is it. In a nutshell... this company is fake. If all you care about is comp and benefits, this is the place for you. But they do not practice their values authentically.

Pros

Healthcare benefits, 50% matching 401K, free food, gym

Cons

Very clique like, everyone may smile but it is disingenuous. You are either popular and accepted, or you function alone. Incredibly isolationing. Marginalized.

Pros

Excellent pay: including stock, 10% discounted ESPP for up to 15% of your salary, 50% match on 401(k). Unlimited vacation time, including company shut down from Christmas to new years and 1 week shut down for 4th of July. Flexible hours: no one care when you come in/out or work from home as long as you get things done. Good work/life balance. The company has programs that encourage happiness, health and well being, like on-site gym and $2000 annual wellness allowance, monthly indays. Fair performance evaluation and room for growth. Plenty of tech talks for you to improve yourself. LinkedIn's titles are a little inflated in comparison with other companies (e.g. other companies take longer to get to senior), so it'd be to your advantage when jumping to another company

Cons

Uncertainty around Microsoft acquisition. Some company politics, though as an individual contributor I'm somewhat shielded from it. Instead of building new innovative products and cut edge technology, there are many technical debt and migrations with technology that engineers are not very excited or proud of.
