Health benefits Stability (generally speaking) not so much in 2010-2012 Extras: food, gift card recognition, fun, etc... Tuition reimbursement! Convenient location in the south of S.L. valley

Cons

Compensation $ did not reflect actual know how or years with company Lack of "real" career opportunities, internal career advancement/path is non-existent Lack of innovation on the site itself and policies - to maintain/increase market share Reinvention of the wheel...yet things did not improve

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
