Pros

Work-life balance. Sabbatical, generous PTOs, and 401k match.

Cons

Frequent reorganization, for me it happened annually. Management seems clueless of what we were doing.

They would roll out a promising project, then kill it next year. There is no consistency. Eventually, the team got nothing to do. They paid us to stay there browsing the web.

Pay grew 1 or 2 percent yearly, way behind their other Bay Area companies, and they have zero intention to make up on that.

For Level 7 and below with a successful rating, their stock grant is a joke, next to nothing.
