Pros

Most of the people are amazing to work with. Good work life balance for IC's. Good number of events to boost work place morale. Workplace training from other internals. Plenty of growth in the DC community.

Cons

Security Protocols and procedures take a back step to profit. Communication at the bottom and mid level leaves a lot to be desired. Not a lot of external training or opportunities for reimbursement for higher learning.

Pros

Used to be a good place. Had lots of talented people and top-tier technology. Used to be able to work from home and used to have a lot of budget for eating out and buying things and traveling. It was a great place for innovation. Again “used to”. If you asked me a couple years ago when I joined, I would probably rate it 4 to 5 stars.

Cons

Five day RTO. People are getting really toxic because of the layoff here and there. No promotion, bad pay raise, bad RSU refresh.

Pros

- Pretty good pay although base salary is a little lower and more of your TC is dependent on sign on/RSUs - Fast paced development culture with potential to learn a lot about industry - not as bad of a pip culture as people expect

Cons

- most things are team dependent: work culture, oncall difficulty, etc. - oncall can be pretty brutal depending on your team and some teams have very chill oncalls - no free/discounted meals and not much other benefits like free Amazon prime provided
