      Pros

      While things have been shifting in the past couple of years, as of late, they still offer some generous benefits: - Hybrid work schedule (50% in office per quarter) - Unlimited vacation time - 401k match up to 3% - ESPP (15% discount) - RSU grants - 12 weeks fully paid parental leave - Good medical insurance options - Lots of free snacks - Free EV charging (5 hours) - Onsite pharmacy, basic care

      Cons

      There was a company-wide massive layoff in February 2025. 8% of the global workforce but the hardest hits were in California and Utah (SLC), their most expensive offices. The claim was that they needed to invest in AI utilization. The focus now is on hiring people in cheaper locations, especially in our newer offices in India and Costa Rica, but they have no problem hiring additional C suite and senior directors/comptrollers in California, the same state where they cut so many middle and lower tier jobs. For the average joe in California, your job may not be safe if there is someone else cheaper who can do the job. Plus, they have been making budget cuts to certain perks that employees used to enjoy in earlier years (lower quality snacks, cheaper/smaller employee events).

      Pros

      Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

      Cons

      Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
