Pros

Good compensation package. Free lunch and snacks.

Cons

Management are lacking the skills they need in a global company. Does not operate as a multinational company. Lack of vision and direction, extremely poor forward thinking and planning. Anyone outside of the Bay Area is marginalised.

Pros

Free daily lunch, free unlimited snacks and drinks, clean facility.

Cons

Toxic work environment: it's normalized to work 10-12 hours a day plus weekends. Except managers. They get to leave before their workers and provide zero support. Very little onboarding training. There is a buddy system to help new hires, but either no one knows about it or cares enough to actually use this system.
