Pros

Good benefits with nice pay. The company also offers many small perks that include activities with family and provide a good number of training courses. HQ is located near Los Gatos trail that provides nice walks.

Cons

Constant changes with no clear direction. Most people are suck up and often fictionalize stories to please others to make their way up the chain. Most often you'll find people backstabbing each others which is truly unethical. No work life balance with terrible management. Often time promoting people that suck the blood out of the company and over work good employees with no reward.

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
