- 5.0Good Balance, Lame StockSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeDecember 19, 2022Pros: Great work/life balance (may depend on you and/or the team though). My experience with management, culture, and benefits has been generally positive.Cons: I wasn't a fan of the stock reward program that makes it look like you are rewarded now but waits 4-5 years to fully vest. But some stock award is better than nothing.
