      Not What it Used To Be ....

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits (Health), Work from Home allowances - company providing great benefits package. Regular "swag" gifts to help keep up engagement.

      Cons

      Lack of career progression - limited mobility upwards, management tends to select "favorites" versus hard working performers. Feedback from internal employee engagement doesn't seem to be taken into consideration. Unclear as to actions to help move towards next career path - company trying but options limited. Job postings tend to focus more on attracting external candidates versus supporting internal career growth (which becomes clear during internal interviews). Compensation - compared to other similar roles lower. Equity offerings are ok but company has been limiting RSU offerings in past year

      Pros

      Incredible Sales team and engineering team. Teams are all colocated so that makes software development more agile. Workmates are all friendly, respectful and generally believe in the workday culture. Lot of emphasis on Cultural fit ! RSU granted at date of hire + RSU refresh after a year + PSU awards end of year + Cash bonus plan. Promotions are frequent. Free Snack options and breakfast are incredible. Handmade espresso drink available as well. Gym onsite, Bring your dog to work, Clinic on-site, TONNES of conference rooms, fantastic parking + ev charging options. Great location for commuters (right next to BART). $30/mth Internet stipend, $50/mth Gym and Wellness stipend, $500 WFH stipend. Unlimited PTO is encouraged (especially in holiday season) and there are many holidays observed as well as Thank You Fridays random holidays.

      Cons

      RSU vesting period is 4 years (25% per annum) vs 3 years in many other tech firms No tuition reimbursement plan No sleeping pods for naps or massage chairs Employee attrition has been rising in the last 2 years but it is unknown if this has to do with the pandemic
