Pros

Inclusive work environment. Customer-centric product development with a bias for action. Management cares about employee well-being (physical & mental). Senior management communicates with staff frequently. Flexible work schedule. Lean product engineering practices. Very good benefits:

  • 25 days Paid Time-Off for every full-time employee
  • 8% 401K match
  • Decent medical/dental/vision plans
  • HSA contribution
  • FMLA/ADA Bonus component at all paygrade levels. H1B sponsorship for qualified engineers.
Cons

Frequent org changes. But, management makes an attempt to communicate changes, but still too many changes.

No zone-based compensation package. Makes it harder to hire talented engineers from high cost of living areas.

Advice to Management

Consider a zone-based compensation package as we try to attract talented staff from all across the country.
