Pros

Technology management nurtures a very passionate and engaged team. Very competitive compensation in SF Bay. Great health benefits, free health club, matching 401, and the best part is unlimited vacation policy. The vacation policy speaks volume on the trust management has on their employees in getting the job done. Performance reviews have been positive and promotions well deserved. Quality work is highly sought after and openly recognized. Some of the best people I have worked with; both management and developers.

Cons

Not all teams share the same drive for technical excellence.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
