Pros

Decent perks including 100% employer paid health care. Great Engineering Team and top talent. Many of your colleagues will be bright, driven and genuinely kind individuals. Good amount of diversity and a variety of individuals from all over the world and of various cultures. Spa and nap pods are a nice perk, yet appointments always filled.

Cons

When it comes down to it, it is a corporation that is motivated by numbers and the bottom line. Nothing new here, but it is pitched to be super collaborative and supportive. . Low salaries for anyone not at management levels. Below industry averrage bonus and equity structures, unless you're mid-upper management, measly few percent a year. Also, a "no raise policy" unless you move up in positions. We live in a city that the cost of living increases year over year 10% over the last 3-4 years. They have very little mentorship available, or any real team building events. They also promise commissions that are instrinsically UNATTAINABLE. The fancy office, lots drinks and mostly unhealthy snacks, some fruit, yogurt et. The "BAR" which is only open a few days a week for a couple of hours and limits/tracks your drinks like a babysitter. It has a halfway decent arcade with 7 games, so called golf course (mini 9 hole drab course), and spa which offers 15 minute appointments that are always full. 75% of the staff doesn't even have time to use.

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.
