Pros

Incredible colleagues, exciting work, many opportunities for growth

Cons

benefits have taken a real hit from cost-cutting: - optum (HSA, FSA, healthcare, lifestyle spend) is not great. Some employees end up taking their HSAs to fidelity and forgoing the employer contribution. Two months after starting I could not reimburse medical expenses - Aires (relocation benefit) will nickel-and-dime every expense you try to reimburse with them, even if you are well under your expense cap, so make sure to request the full policy on every expense (they don't give you the full policy information and caveats up front) and be very nitpicky and pre-approve all expenses. Make sure to note down who you talk to if you call support as if you were dealing with an insurance company - food and other perks have been targets for cost-cutting, so staffing, quality, and availability of everything from office supplies to snacks have been in short supply.

Pros

Good pay Good benefits You can meet really smart engineers and learn from them. The name looks good on your resume

Cons

Because of the PIP quota, it is super competitive and stressful. You will see people working through the weekends, the holidays, and their PTO. In my opinion, I think a lot of work is self-induced from people trying to one up another. This also causes a lot of roadmap changes.

Pros

The Work is interesting, free food, and the pay is great.

Cons

Toxic work culture, intense expectations, rough commute with 3 days in office. They have shuttles, but there are massive empty zones making them useless for most employees.
