Current Technical Program Manager in San Francisco, CA, California

Great flexibility, "family-first" and "health-first" mindset (at least on my team), and great incentives. Beware falling for generous RSU packages, however - you may be laid off before they mean anything.

Benefits package is average. Don't be fooled by their "generous" PTO - you don't get to choose when to use it, they dictate your mandatory time off periods. And no separate paid sick time is offered.
