Pros

In general, colleagues are very competent and very friendly, and they're willing to reach out to new employees. Everyone I've met so far truly wants to contribute to the company's continued success, and most are more than willing to help new-hires get up to speed.

Cons

There seem to be a lot of gaps in functional coverage in several areas. Skill sets vary, but there is absolutely no lack of effort at the lower management and IC levels! If a problem is discovered, everyone jumps in to help; but Leadership and Management skills is a bit wanting at higher levels. That being said, over 25 years, I've seen that many times, and it all works out eventually.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
