Plenty of parking. Amazing work/life balance (because no one is really doing real work).

It's a mystery how this place frequently shows up on Fortune's best place to work list.

Average pay, average benefits, and no perks compare to any Silicon Valley companies nearby. Beer bashes are pretty much unheard of in HQ to cut costs, while many remote offices privately host "weekly" beer bashes with the company's budget, while working shorter than average hours.

Engineer's productivity is almost non-existent since the introduction of VED (essentially your desktop workspace is under a virtual environment, but with no network access).

There's a culture of engineers saying yes to a task with zero intention of ever getting it done. The capable people get things done without ever getting the raise or promotion they were promised to receive, while slackers sit on their tasks for another day and get free money. Half of the executives, founders, and motivated engineers have left the company these past months. What's left are the finger-pointing types of people who love to play politics.

Cafeteria food is average, but the menu never changes, so you'd grow tired of it in a month. People love to book meetings near lunchtime so you can't eat anywhere else.

HQ is conveniently located next to a quarry to poison your lungs.

NA. You guys are done. Just wait for the inevitable bankruptcy or get bought if you are lucky.
