Pros

Career growth is high, with decent pay and a 401K match of 6%. You get 3 to 4 weeks of time off, plus 10 personal/sick days. Performance-based LTI/RSUs are also offered.

Cons

The bonus structure is bad for Principal Engineers and Software Engineers. The bonus only benefits upper levels, from Senior Principal to Tech Staff Engineers.

Advice to Management

Bonus Structure is Very Low for Software Engineer - Principal Engineer (Very Less w.r.t Industry).

Also, the 401k limit to $7500 should be removed.
