Hello and thank you for taking the time to write a review. Your comment about "healthcare" has us curious as based on our research, the plan we offer is more generous and comprehensive than most others in the high tech industry. If you are interested in providing more detail please stop by and visit our Benefits Director. That team appreciates employee feedback tremendously and if missing something key, they're open to making adjustments.

Wonderful top leadership, work depends on where in the organization you land

Pros

Experience differs widely depending on where you land in the organization and who your supervisor is. I was relatively lucky. I found a fantastic work culture and support for employees - educational support, understanding, reasonable work-life balance. Some long days, but when deadlines are nearby it is expected. The top leadership is excellent, and even after my departure I think of them (particularly the CEO) often. They're visionary, humble, and incredibly smart -- which is hard to appreciate in the moment.

Cons

Middle management could use work and many folks in somewhat construed leadership posts. Lots of inefficiencies in the system. For the ambitious young employee it is hard to rise up quickly due to a very flat structure, though smaller achievements are often noticed and somewhat rewarded.
