Pros
  • Free lunch and recently added complimentary breakfast.
  • Amazing campus around Palo Alto.
  • Good atmosphere and freedom for developers to use the latest technologies to do their job.
  • Learning new things.
Cons
  • Pay isn't good, on the lesser side of the Bay Area margin.
  • WLB is okay, I guess, as in any other company in the Bay Area.
  • Lot of politics around. Good idea to shut up and do your work wearing headphones.
  • The company doesn't seem to be doing so well. I am seeing less money being spent on employee engagement.

We used to have monthly outings and stuff a few years ago, but now it's once in like 4-5 months. SAP normally has a yearly outing to Great America, but they even cancelled that this year saying they need money for "processing other employees' green cards." I mean, who says that? That was so bizarre.

We got some horrible food trucks where it took me 2 hours to get a small slider, I am not even kidding. Overall, with the recent layoffs and other small things going on here and there, I am not very sure about the future of this company and it looks like a sinking ship.
