Pros

Technology, Team, Stability, Perks (food, gym)

Cons

Equity not high, commute is difficult, some Teams/Businesses don't seem to contribute. The cafeteria should replace all unhealthy options.

Advice to Management

Can focus more on revenue-generating projects and staying competitive with new competitors. Make 401k equity vesting scheduling competitive. Quarterly, not 15% after year 1, etc. Increase 401k match.
