Pros

The free snack program.

Quarterly company-wide town hall with free lunch and fun activities (inflatable corn maze, axe throwing, mini golf, etc.).

Pool tables, ping pong, arcade, etc.

Meaningful work and very approachable managers.

I've been lucky to be part of a great team, though I've heard some of my work friends have some tensions among other members (interns mostly).

Cons

A general job posting which funnels. I applied for the 'C Compiler Dev position,' and upon starting my first day, I realized I was in DevOps for Compilers. Though I liked it, I just wasn't expecting that.

Advice to Management

Make sure the incoming employee knows what position or team they will be becoming a part of before they start their first day.
