Pros

Flexible work hours and location.

Cons

I received good reviews from my managers, but still had only one salary increase in six years.

Clearly, there is a huge gap here in terms of compensation/benefits/perks compared to other Bay Area companies.

You're always expected to overachieve, but engineers receive little recognition.

Immigration process is terribly slow.

Because there are so many remote workers, it's hard to communicate even within your own team members.

Advice to Management

It looks like you guys are getting all the money at the expense of hard-working engineers!
