Pros

Fair compensation, high hopes if you survive there.

Cons

* They fire people on the spot. That is, without due process, a review, a reason, or a warning. Can use any reason to fire you. * A new manager can fire an entire group. * Technology is old-proprietary stack that requires lots of extra maintenance hours. Easy to make a mistake. * If you make a mistake (see above). * Please don't speak against management.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
