Pros
  • Genuine and generous investments into its employees.
  • Committed to quality of product, even at the expense of revenue.
  • An open and accepting environment.
  • Have a beer while you work; it's actually common to do so.
Cons

Engineering positions are stuck in Irvine, CA, with no remote options available.

We are continuously fighting siloed mentalities and environments between teams.

Promotions are competitive and usually lost to outside hires.

Advice to Management

Invest in building more remote-friendly environments and try harder to offer remote opportunities.

Some of the job matrices are flawed. For example, the Engineering matrix needs a management/non-management path separation.
