I'm learning a ton
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: The office culture is super positive. People are way nicer than I thought they would be before I worked here. Everyone is positive and supportive.
Compensation is largely based on the growth of the company continuing, so the stock options are where I expect a big payout, but the salary is competitive with startups in SF.
Cons: Perks could be better. Since I am periodically on-call, I'd like it if my cell phone was covered.

Good Pay, Bad Leadership Strategy

Pros: Comp is good. Not top of the market, but above median.
Cons: Leadership has no technical vision. Poor strategy. Promoted some senior ICs to become bad middle managers. Reorg after reorg after reorg because leadership has no actual vision. PIP quotas leading to silent layoffs. This causes a lot of stress on remaining souls.
