Pros

People seem to genuinely care ESPP is decent but you have to make >$100K to really have it make an impact

Cons

Lost touch with DEI, employee satisfaction, etc. Mandated time in office (days and hours of the day) Base, bonus, PTO, and most other benefits are all much lower than market (individual contributors can’t earn higher than 5% bonus, entry managers 10%). PTO is 15 days, and you get 5 more every 5 years until you cap at 25. Career opportunities are bountiful (not necessarily progressive however) for engineers. All other functions are very, very difficult to move up or out at all times.

Pros

I had a great onboarding experience - my manager was very prepared with a clear and useful onboarding plan. The people have been very welcoming and the company culture is great.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly, which presents natural challenges - but the overall experience has been very positive.

Pros

Great place to work. Very considerate of actual career and life experience rather than focusing on having a degree. Management really cares about your success personally and professionally. Top-notch focus on career development. Cohesive, cooperative teams. Fair base pay for experience, good health benefits, and decent flexibility.

Cons

Your experience will be deeply influenced by which location you work at and position you work in. The company has a good framework for inclusion but in reality there are unchecked local employees who make it very uncomfortable if you can't pass for right wing. Raises are inconsistent and don't seem to be determined by performance ratings. Despite having a good review every cycle, I haven't seen so much as a cost of living adjustment post - promotion.
