Pros: Awesome company to work for.

Cons: none that I can think of

Pros: Good work-life balance: Engineers usually come to work at 10 AM and leave around 6 PM. Great benefits for employees with kids. People are friendly, collaborative, and laid-back. Good pay, comparing to other startups in the Valley.

Cons: Lack of growth opportunities: Meaty projects are rare, and they are given to a selected few engineers. This is not an issue for fresh grads, but for experienced engineers, if you couldn't get the project you need for growth or engagement, you'll get pretty worn out with grunt tasks when you hit your anniversary. A career development plan process is in place to help with the issue, but its effectiveness highly depends on the team and the relationship you have with your manager. Lack of transparency on merit increase: Performance reviews don't always get reflected in merit increases. Even if you have a good review, your merit increase could be nominal.

Pros: Good for work and learning.

Cons: Lesser than average on the salary.
