Pros

Free pastries in the morning. A few normal people that make working there slightly more pleasant.

Cons

The manager on the team I was on has literally never had management training in the 8 years he has worked there, and HR confirmed this to me multiple times. He is demeaning and expects unquestioning subservience. He will talk down to you, get annoyed when you ask questions related to the work, and blame you for not understanding immediately. He will ignore your multiple wins in the workplace, find the one mistake you made, then use it to set you up to fail. I asked for help multiple times and was ignored or talked down to. I am not the only one to leave this team in the past year. They can’t get people to stay on the team, and I’m telling you that this manager is the reason why. He has at least one HR complaint against him, and now a retaliation complaint with the state. $90k salary, onsite every day from 9-6, no exceptions, and now this? Nope, couldn’t be me.

It's a good starting point for your career.

Pros

Free breakfast (but only enough for half the building). Paid benefits. It's a job. No one gets fired, they just hire more people. Great if you're looking for somewhere to work until you retire.

Cons

No opportunity for professional growth, gaining new skills or learning anything really. Salary is way below average. Vacation is accrued slowly and caps out lower than other companies in the area. People rarely take vacation. Female employees beware: Company policy says that if you take maternity leave they will not guarantee you your same position will be there when you come back or that you'll be paid the same wage as before. This is illegal. You must be at work by 9am and stay until 6pm. You cannot work through lunch and leave early. You cannot negotiate a different schedule. No work from home. IT professionals who work more than 8 hours a day are not paid overtime. This is illegal in California. You will only be promoted if you work Saturdays. Most people working Saturdays aren't really doing anything but being seen at work on a Saturday. The CEO takes note of this. If you are female, some employees may not take you seriously. No innovation. No new ideas. No changes if it means spending money instead of saving.
