Pros

Pays tremendously well even for new college hires. Not much pressure to work too hard.

Cons

Completely stagnant work. Haven't had a single thing to do since starting. The company seems to be doing really well but is extremely inefficient. There's rarely anything to do. At least the Burlington and Santa Clara offices are giant buildings with many offices secluded from each other, making collaboration impossible. The office culture is virtually nonexistent. There are breakrooms everywhere but for some unknown reason, they are stocked with only sugary drinks and tea. Average age is pretty high.

Pros

Excellent colleagues. Full technology stack to explore. Work from home - but now wfh had become a problem since there's nothing like non work hours now...

Cons

- no hike, bonus - people who deliver are rewarded with more work but no perks. - management expects 200% output from underpaid engineers. Understaffed. - excellent colleagues but everyone is so overburdened that people hardly have time to interact with each other. - politics and blame games in desperation.
