Pros
  1. Good perks: complementary food, snacks, juices.
  2. Flexible work-from-home policy.
  3. Great work culture in many orgs.
  4. Great work-life balance.
Cons
  1. Salary is lower compared to other competitors in the area. It's difficult to live and work in SF at this salary.

Ppl in Seattle get a similar salary. If Amazon stock stops appreciating, employees are screwed with such a low bar of salary.

Advice to Management

We need at least a 50k increase in salary caps. Seattle's salary cap plus a few grand won't work in SF.
