Pros

Unlimited vacation policy. If you are a new hire, you will probably be paid well, to start anyway. Work-life balance is OK, depending on your team and the time of year.

Cons

This company seems to have lost its respect for the people who built it. Ever since new management came in, benefits have been getting worse and worse. New hires are getting way more stock options and better pay than most of the engineers who have been here for years. Management favors employees they brought with them from other companies, treating everyone else pretty much like crap. This is causing experienced engineers who have been at the company 5+ years to quit. Management seems hell-bent on changing technology stacks all over the company without a real clear vision for what they want to replace it with.

Advice to Management

Get your house in order, or you are going to see people leaving in droves after bonuses get paid out next year. Start treating your existing employees right. Why would you treat an engineer out of college better than someone who has years of experience at the company?
