Pros

The company is constantly evolving and improving. It is heading in a great direction.

Wide range of interesting and hard technical problems to work on. I have never been bored.

When you have great management, it can be very rewarding and fun.

Very smart people.

Fantastic benefits:

  • 401k
  • Health
  • ESPP
  • Bonus and Stock
  • Holidays (MLK and Pres Day)

Very nice campus with places to walk and run and forests.

Culture is changing in a positive way.

Cons

Politics. Often, decisions are made in the career interests of the leaders and not for the benefit of the company or employees.

Advice to Management

Provide a formal program, such as Google's Founders Award, to encourage and properly reward grassroots innovations that could positively impact the business.
