Pros

Overall culture of the company is great compared to some other bigger companies in Bay Area. Has to do a lot with company headquarters being in Seattle. No typical Bay Area politics or BS. People obey what they say and discuss issues upfront. Company is doing great projects to improve its stake in security and analytics market. Work life balance is good. Can get a little busy during development phase of release which is pretty standard anywhere else.

Cons

No lunch provided on site but kitchen all fully stocked on snacks and drinks. This will save company a lot of lunch hrs. Need more office space as a lot of people are getting hired lately.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
