Pros

Free lunch mwf for HQ employees Flexible tine off

Cons

Unless you are an Engineer, do not apply here. Upper management has little insight or care about the work environment of customer facing roles, routinely asking employees to work 11+ hour days to try and accomplish the 16+ hours worth of work assigned to try and run the company at the pace upper management desires. Middle management achieved roles based on tenure at the company, not necessarily from performance. Company morale is low very little work life balance is a contributing factor. VERY high turnover.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
