Pros

Highly professional, effective people. Projects that actually make a difference, and a focus on meaningful work. Good perks, happy people, and the pay is fairly competitive. I was underpaid at my old job, so I got roughly a 60% raise after stock and bonus were factored in.

Cons

Very corporate – less than you might think, but more than you probably ideally want.

As one might expect from the size of the company, it is less agile than a startup and more bureaucratic. However, it still feels acceptable.

Advice to Management

Keep the stock price high and focus on quality middle management, and you're gold.
