Pros
The people are truly awesome to work with. From the leadership to the individual contributors, lots of great personalities and attitudes. When there are company events (few and far between nowadays) it is easy to make great personal connections. Strict “no jerks” hiring policy has worked pretty well.
Cons
NOT A STARTUP. They have taken away everything that makes a startup a startup. Hardly any free lunches, dinners, parties, snacks, or joy to be found nowadays. The only startup thing left is the low salaries, poor work life balance, risk of failure,and lack of experience from the leadership. There are constant (every 3 months), MASSIVE reorganizations; being in management is super cut throat. They are very good at promoting internally, but only because people keep getting the boot and they don’t pay enough to get proven leaders from elsewhere to accept the offers. If you want to be an engineer and get really good technically, this is not the spot for you- you will learn what you can out of desperation, but you won’t go far or be rewarded. If you want a crash course in politics and nepotism, get on board.
