Pros

50% 401k match. Free coffee. Sports memberships. Laid-back atmosphere. I would highly recommend this company. Work-life balance is not only respected, it is encouraged. My experience has been great.

Cons

I have heard that there are some teams that are not great, although I've never met anyone working for said teams. Everyone I've met likes their team. You can always switch teams if this is the case. I wish the free coffee wasn't Starbucks, but some fresh local roasted coffee. Minor gripe.

Advice to Management

I dislike open offices. They do encourage communication, which is great when starting, but after that, I would rather have an office. Even a cubicle would be nice. Satya is great.
