Pros

Treated well. People are generally good. Stock is doing well. Work-life balance can be easily maintained. Compensation is fair.

Cons

Depending on the organization within the company you work in, experiences can vary. I've had issues with how upper management approaches problems, our engineering systems, and the process it takes to get work done. Compensation doesn't feel as good as other big tech companies in the area.

Advice to Management

Listen to your customers better; it will make your employees happier.
