Pros

The company is growing, no matter what anyone says. That’s the big pro, I would say.

Cons

As part of its growth, the company is hiring people at a good speed, and so the quality measures to hire good people have probably been compromised.

Another downside: be careful if you are given an out-of-band salary and stocks. There will be a good chance that you will be asked to leave by the time you are near your vesting date.

I had almost half a million dollars worth of RSUs and couldn’t even get a penny out of it, as I was given all sorts of stupid reasons to leave.

I made 100% on my MBOs for 4 quarters in a row (that means I was doing good), but then suddenly, as I came close to my first vesting date, management started saying that I was not doing well. I showed the management so many appreciations from customers for me, but they acted as if blind to all of those.

Advice to Management

Try to talk to a few employees who are leaving the company. That will give you a great opportunity to know the ground realities. No surveys can give you the insights that those upset employees would provide.
