Pros

The company really cares about its employees.

For a time-period the work was very stressful but after employee feedback the manager reduced the workload and appreciated the hard work.

The company provides good resources for growth and is a place where one can make a career.

Having worked at top tech firms and toxic environments I can say this place is a place to retire.

Cons

The pay is far lower. The stocks for same position at Apple would be a minimum of $200K (10x) times here. However I for now prefer to have work life balance. The area is very specific and unless you really enjoy it it's not a place to be in.

Advice to Management

Increase stocks and lower the domain knowledge for algo engineers.
