Pros

Work life balance is above average. There are talented engineers to work with. Workday clubs are great. Snack program. Great for your resume.

Cons

Xpresso can be a career limiting technology (though in my opinion it's a powerful technology). Your quality of life is VERY team dependant. Some teams are great, others have highly toxic politics. Pay is above average for smaller less established companies but far behind the more established ones. Promotions aren't common. It kinda feels like there is an "in crowd" and then there is everyone else. Flexible work from home policy isn't. You get Fridays to work from home and anything more that that and your manager will be speaking with you. Unlimited PTO isn't. It's 4 weeks per year that don't accrue and doesn't pay out when you leave.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
