Excellent pay, good benefits. Middle management has difficulty sticking to decisions
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Jose, California, United States
September 21, 2025
Pros: Great pay, excellent sign-in package.
Unlimited PTO (a pro or a con depending on the person).
Smart people, lots of them.
The yearly Hackathon is exciting and useful, with many prototypes actually getting implemented.
Workday lunches encourage collaboration and teamwork.
Cons: Middle management can't seem to stick to decisions.
Very often we would start adding a feature, at management request, only to have management change their mind before or even after the feature was completed. This was bad for productivity, bad for morale, and bad for the bottom line.
Upper and middle management hiring, promotion, and layoffs are based way too much on cronyism.
