Pros

Good benefits, including a 401k with 4% employer match that's immediately 100% vested. The office was nice while we had it, with gym and snacks and a nice location in Irvine. Co-workers are cool, and the pay is good I think. The work is completely remote now, which is nice if you're into that. There are lots of smart engineers here working on building things on a big scale, and your output has a clear impact on the business. If you're smart and work hard you can make a difference.

Cons

Management is always on people's backs to meet arbitrary deadlines and push out the quickest most mediocre versions of the products they want, which is a waste of all the brilliant engineers and chips away at morale. As a result there's always something burning in production, and being on-call is like getting thrown into a fire. The tech debt is tremendous and makes new development more tedious than it should be. Layoffs are frequent, and it's clear that the company prefers to offload more work to developers overseas. Nepotism is the rule with upper management, not the exception. Overall direction of the company rarely gets communicated to the workers on the ground.

Pros

You get to use the latest technology. Because the teams are small you get to wear many hats and grow much faster than at a bigger company. You have much more opportunity for design choices and your choices directly affect the end product.

Cons

Poor planning by management. Random deadlines get dumped on developers and are expected to work extra to pull it off. Developers are the ones who support production, 24/7

Pros

I was part of the Outbound Team and to be hones its not bad at all. People were nice to me , there was no pressure saying that this has to be done tomorrow or anything. The salary was on par, only downside was that there is a lot of red tape.

Cons

Red Tape, no cellphone access
