Pros

Stable company, very difficult to be fired so job stability as well. Decent benefits but nothing special.

Cons

Low base pay, company makes it seem like you are getting great pay by giving you stock grants, but they are always vested in 4 years, so you will always lose 4 years worth of stock grants when you leave (even in retirement). Very lean culture when it comes to everything. Makes some of the equipment old and run down. Hard to get the things you need at times.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
