Pros

Some very smart people. Cutting-edge technology across different categories. I like all the people on my team, including my manager. Some work can be quite interesting. A great new HQ building is being built for late 2017. The CEO can be very inspiring. The stock is way up in the last couple of years.

Cons

Work-life balance isn't great and is very bad for some people.

It can be very political.

It's hard to promote to new levels.

Communication between teams could be better.

Management gets shuffled around even if they're underperforming or adding nothing, instead of being demoted or let go.

There's only a $2500 401k match.

Pay is below market average, from what I've heard.

There are no RSUs for level 3 and below.

Cafe food quality is usually bad.

Advice to Management

Increase the 401k match. Need better staffing of some teams. Better work-life balance. Better cafe food.
