Pros: It is a great place for fresh graduates without any experience.

Cons: One of the most uncomfortable places to work as a person of color. I left a Fortune 500 company and took over a 50% pay cut because I wanted to be around my family. Even moved them from another state. Never happened. Lacks diversity. They have a few minorities that they give access to make them feel like they belong but have no managerial position. It is a buddy system. They have this clique among themselves that they try to maintain power. You don't need an engineering degree, background, or experience to be a manager as long as you belong to the clique. An employee forgot I was in the truck while we were on the job and was more concerned about confederate statues being taken down than performing his duties. He then told me to go and get into another truck when he realized I was in the truck. My manager called me and asked me about the situation and pretty much buried it. He later informed me that I didn't take criticism well. I just laughed and shook my head. CEO has a great vision but is surrounded by guys that want to maintain a white power structure. Poor management structure. 0% Job security There is no separation of powers or checks and balances between HR and managers. In other words, The HR department holds no bearings on any type of complaints that arise within the departments and can't even secure your job. Pretty much your manager can discriminate, harass and retaliate without any consequences. Most of the managers have this white supremacy mentality. If you are not white, you are not doing it right . Few Managers have 0 field engineering experience and, in all honesty, have no business managing anyone. My manager harassed me even had ops watch me while I worked and told me that I needed to ask for permission to use the restroom from the ops guys. Of course, they told me. FYI they are looking for a way to get rid of you. Later I was told I needed to take a drug test; needless to say, I was singled out to take four drug tests in a month, and I am not even in Ops. I PASSED ALL!!!

Pros: - the tech is so, so cool - lots of smart, passionate people to learn from - you have a lot of power over what you work on

Cons: - 80 hour work weeks - only the hardware engineers seemed to like each other - having an xbox was the main part of their "company culture" - low pay compared to similar-sized companies - managers didn't have a lot of management experience, resulting in a terrible experience

Pros: The best part are the normal employees. Many would sacrifice their own well being over and over to get things done.

Cons: Leadership direction changed all the time. Projects were started and stopped without much long term thought. This led to a lot of quality issues and a lot of thrashing with half built things. C level execs also sometimes felt the need to get involved in the day to day and micromanage which just made things worse.
