Pros

Benefits like any other company, Bagel Wednesday, Good health Insurance, Good 401k plan

Cons

Pay is definitely low compared to other companies in bay area. Senior Management in the group lacks the basic fundamental skills of appreciating employees at the group level. They treat employees as slaves and take things way too personally. Seriously you have got to be kidding. You would typically have a workload of 2 people in this group.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
