Pros

Health benefits and compensation are great. Additional financial benefits for wellness are excellent.

Cons

Work-life balance is non existent. Time off CAN be good, as mentioned by others in the company, but if your manager doesn't approve the 100% discretionary time off, you can go the entire year without a vacation with no options.

Pros

- No RTO mandate. Many employees work full time remote - Unlimited PTO that's taken generously - Healthy WLB - Relaxed policy on contributing to open source projects or working on side projects - Relatively bottom up. If you have an idea you're encouraged to build it and see if it works. - Great campus with regular events and lots of things to do - Health insurance is great

Cons

- Layoffs. There's been regular layoffs since 2022. - The additional stock given each year is not as much as the FAANG companies. After 4 years your total compensation goes down because your yearly stock refreshes won't keep up with your initial stock grant.
