Clawbacks!

Pros

offers looks pretty on paper

Cons

This is a company that loves clawbacks apparently. There is 401k matching, but with a vesting period of a 3 year cliff. Too bad most people bounce at a year, year and a half. You're an old timer if you've been there over 2 years. I've seen multiple people let go without warning before vesting periods/1 year equity cliff. Also, after finally releasing equity grants (six months after going public), they gladly took half the stocks for 'sell to cover' only to come back a few months later when the stock cratered and asked for more money because the stocks they took 'no longer covered the tax liability'. If you can, get paid in physical cash.

Pros

-Outsiders will be impressed when you tell them where you work. -Day to day colleagues are awesome

Cons

It's bumming me out thinking about how much it sucked working here. Just find a different job. (Read the other negative reviews and insert that here). Same issues from years ago have never been resolved.
