Pros

Stock is doing well Nice people to work with Flexible time off Great work life balance HR really tries to do their best with the small budget that they are allocated Good legal team Company has taken a lot of steps towards equal pay, anti discrimination & harassment training. Cross team collaboration is excellent Team hackathons give you the chance to turn your idea into a product. Decent bonus & ESP program.

Cons

Benefits are below standard and fall way short of other companies Poor 401 K match Poor health care premium contributions forcing employees into high deductible plans No paid paternal or maternal leave. You have to manage with California disability or family leave which is caped to a small amount No cafeteria, or gym . Has rampant parking problems Hard to request hardware upgrades, IT is very frugal

Pros

Chairs are comfortable. The products are desirable.

Cons

If you miss the days when you used to get yelled at by your parents, this job will cover that miss. Leadership style is simialar to the mid 1980s, rule with an iron fist. Most employees are miserable and more than half are trying to find new jobs. Every month 1 to 3 employees quit. Also very underpaid, you can find employment with their competition, the competitors will pay industry standard.
