Pros

Perks and benefits are really good. The on-site gym, cafe, flexible work hours, matching 401k, RSUs, time-off benefits, and sabbatical, etc., are quite good.

Cons

It seems like the company is changing direction in a major way every 2-3 quarters.

The stock is going down, and sellers are disgruntled.

The executive team is constantly changing, and every new person comes up with a new direction.

Advice to Management

Innovate! Look at Google and how they continuously innovate.

Bring back the energy in the people, motivate.
