Pros

Stock is doing well

Nice people to work with

Flexible time off

Great work life balance

HR really tries to do their best with the small budget that they are allocated

Good legal team

Company has taken a lot of steps towards equal pay, anti discrimination & harassment training.

Cross team collaboration is excellent

Team hackathons give you the chance to turn your idea into a product.

Decent bonus & ESP program.

Cons

Benefits are below standard and fall way short of other companies

Poor 401 K match

Poor health care premium contributions forcing employees into high deductible plans

No paid paternal or maternal leave. You have to manage with California disability or family leave which is capped to a small amount

No cafeteria, or gym. Has rampant parking problems

Hard to request hardware upgrades, IT is very frugal

Advice to Management

Be a little nicer to your employees.

If you continue trying to cut costs at this rate you will lose high performing team members.
