Pros

Strong recent college grad community with frequent events like paint night, bowling, field day, etc.

Lots of great perks with free gym classes, good health insurance, and a solid ESPP program.

Good work-life balance with little to no deadlines and no work over the weekends.

Cons
  • Management is slow-moving and has political agendas to take credit for others' work.
  • Engineering is disconnected from each other; a big company has problems with knowledge sharing.
  • Lots of reorganizations redefine the team structure, which causes setbacks and slowness.
