Pros

Office is nice. A lot of good people. Employees believe in mission. Good benefits.

Cons

CEO. CEO likes to bring in friends who aren't qualified and if he and his team like you, this minute, you get special perks. Rush to get things done without full staffing and thinking through process. Attitude is if you don't like it, you should leave rather than trying to help employees who are here and do the work. Lots of cost cutting so doesn't feel like your job is safe. Too many new people who think they know how company should work but they have no experience at company and don't understand company. Used to be a better company.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
