Pros

Free food.

Stocks and bonus to make up for the below-average base pay.

Cons

At first, it was good. We had big electric height-adjustable desks, Aeron chairs, and dual monitors. They are now, in an effort to jam more people in, limiting us to a single monitor on desks almost half the size, which cannot be used as standing desks anymore. They replaced our chairs with much cheaper ones, which are far less comfortable.

Contrary to what people might say, the infrastructure is inefficient, outdated, and limiting. You won't get to use anything new.

You need to document everything in order to get a pay rise. There is no recognition for hard work.

Advice to Management

Bring back the perks that made us choose to work at this company in the first place. Make things better, not worse.

If you want people to stay, make it a more comfortable place to work.

You have too much money and spend it in all the wrong places. You can spend over 5 million USD per month on AWS but need to cut costs on desks and chairs? Really?
