• Best compensation package in the LA area. When it comes to engineering, no one pays better.

• Free benefits (for you and your family), and I'm not talking just HMO.

• OK meals, but hey, they are free.

• Best vesting schedule with no cliff... for newer employees.

• Creative and smart engineers.

• Hard-working team.

As mentioned in the title, prepare to put in long hours. If you are not working overtime, you are probably not in engineering or you are a legacy employee just waiting to fully vest.

Communication between teams (and even within teams) needs improvement.

Sink or swim mentality.

Not a great place for work/life balance (unless you are single or family comes second to you).

Competition is high. People seem to try too hard to vie for attention.

When stuff breaks, there are no good processes in place. As a result, people usually work in reactionary mode.

Coffee sucks.

Not enough bathrooms (in my building, anyway).

Grow a spine and say no sometimes. It feels like they all operate as "yes" people without really thinking long term.

Listen to employees, establish processes, and enforce them.

Have more family-oriented events.

Be respectful of people's weekends. When we work extra to get stuff done, it would be nice to get acknowledged for it.

Give engineers time to invest and learn new things. Due to the heavy load, you have almost no time to do that.
