Pros

There is only one pro: a good number of shares, but only if your job is secure.

Cons

There is a list which new people should consider before joining:

  1. Worst work environment. In the pandemic, people were forced to come to the office.
  2. Worst front-line managers. If you are not aligned with a "dump" manager, then your job is at risk, even if you are doing great.
  3. Worst top management. They don't care about employees. Every six months, firings happen and pressure is built on remaining people for work. Compensation decisions are highly dependent on management, and individual performance is neglected many times.
  4. The CEO has his own way of thinking (people should be in the office during the pandemic as WFH is not effective).
  5. Worst HR. HRs are just puppets and mostly find ways to harass employees based on policy decisions by top management.
  6. Worst job security. You don't know when your job will be at risk. Software group people are at more risk as many acquisitions are happening. So, be careful if you plan to join any software group (CA, Symantec).

The company is paying a good amount of shares and considers you as high RSUed slaves.

Advice to Management

Nothing :)
