Pros
  • Work is interesting, and the problems we have to solve can be challenging.
  • A lot of opportunities for growth if you are motivated.
  • Great benefits.
  • Good stock.
Cons
  • Bad culture, people look out for themselves and are not collaborative.

  • Bad work-life balance depending on the team, with major amounts of pressure. Joined because of good work-life balance Glassdoor reviews, and that has not been the case, often 60-hour weeks.

  • Hard to get anything done. Hard to work with other teams. You have to coordinate with managers to ask even simple questions from other engineers because they either won’t respond or will say they don’t have time to help you. Really strange culture.

  • Seems like stocks and raises have been reduced, and they are hiring a ton of contractors instead of full-time engineers.
