Pros

Talented peers and a wide range of problem statements to work on. Opportunities to learn are plentiful.

Cons

Work-life balance can take a hit, somewhat depending on the team. The compensation model is bad; it’s not rewarding enough, even when stock goes down.

Advice to Management

Adjust the compensation model to fairly compensate employees. The philosophy of not enjoying the stock growth (as no new shares are awarded if stock goes up) while not being compensated for when it goes down does not seem fair.
