The promises of the contract offer were not honored in full: The starting date was pushed back several months on short notice (2 weeks). Stock was not granted in full. Many perks have been slashed after the IPO.
The starting salary is high for recent graduates but then stalls. Progression cannot keep up with other tech companies.
Dr. Karp is awesome, but the IPO was a mistake and probably done only because investors forced the leadership to go through with it.
