Pros

Free breakfast. Close to freeway exit.

Cons

Awful environment (management can be rude and passive-aggressive), and the company is AT LEAST ten years behind in their systems and processes. Coworkers are nice enough, but that doesn't exactly make up for it. Also no guaranteed 401k matching (it's discretionary).

Pros

Great company to work for. I am a firmware engineer to work on issue resolution at first. Later, I was able to join AI Development. Because of my strong network connection, I was able to work on Business Development to leverage customers. These days, I was selected to join our new product, DCBBS (Data Center Building Block Solutions) Team to expand our company's territory. Great management team! Great colleagues! Great benefits! Great working environment to allow me to grow. Really feel blessed to work here not only for the great benefits, but I also already got two bonuses in cash/stock a year and one raise in salary every year. Lots of gift cards, celebration, teambuilding event, and professional trainings.

Cons

The parking is the major concern for all buildings. Company keeps growing and acquires lots of buildings. The commute between buildings is another issue for face-to-face meeting (online meetings are okay most of time though). One more problem is that the conference rooms are enough.

Pros

1. Some colleagues are genuinely kind and collaborative. 2. A few teams appear organized from the outside.

Cons

Very high turnover: the 7–8 person team I worked for lost 5 employees within one year (~70% turnover). Hence are the reasons. 1. Management obsessed with micromanagement, lacking vision: Internal focus is on trivial details, such as email wording, subject line formats, attachment naming rather than strategic priorities or team development. Emails have been recalled after being read simply due to formatting preferences. 2. Lack of trust and control over communication: Managers frequently dominate external meetings despite limited project knowledge, preventing knowledgeable team members from speaking. Mistakes caused by this approach are later delegated downward. 3. Emphasis on obedience and meaningless long hours: Formalistic long hours are rewarded over real productivity. During a power outage near the end of the workday, the team was required to remain onsite until official hours ended, without electricity or internet. 4. Prevalence of a bullying culture: Exclusion and intimidation are common. Colleagues have been skipped during self-introductions in external meetings, excluded from team dinners, or threatened during departure handovers. 5. Lack of basic humanity and professional decency: There are cases of contract termination with minimal notice (just over one month remaining), disregarding visa implications or personal circumstances, leaving affected employees in difficult situations.
