Pros

Good, fun and interesting work. Great people, everyone is very helpful and friendly. Fun, young culture, which is great for people out of school. Good, competitive benefits (free snacks, good medical/dental/401k, etc.).

Cons
  • Way below average pay; some people get huge raises and others don't without any real reasoning.
  • Sometimes the workload can be large, depending on the time of year and team.
Advice to Management

Pay your engineers more, or your turnover in engineering is going to become worse than it already is.

We hear a lot about how much we're growing year over year, but we don't see it reflected in our salaries.

Your employees will start to feel very unappreciated.
