Pros

Friendly company culture Perks with some Silicon Valley businesses Prestigious name

Cons

Little room for advancement in established teams A dead end for skills growth due to proprietary tech stack RSUs are a major part of income and you are expected to put in heavy overtime and market your contributions to management just to keep that major part of your income or your bonus - good luck if you work on something mundane rather than flashy Pay has not kept up with cost of living or even other software companies

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
