Pros

The benefits package includes fair compensation, RSUs, and company-paid health insurance. You will work with really nice, smart people. They prefer someone who communicates well over someone who is smart.

Cons

Management has shifted to "let's get the stock price up by any means".

There were layoffs without any warning or communication, firing people via email.
