Pros

Solid and financially driven company( as any good company should be). ESPP plan attractive and shares the wealth in that regard. Talented people in the trenches. Quality products and innovative thinking leads to good product and roadmaps.

Cons

Workforce is comprised of those that have been there for years and are in the click or those that are there for a short time and looking to frankly move on for management treats employees with little respect and unprofessionally behavior.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
