Vantaggi

Good pay, 3 days per week lunches

Svantaggi

First, is high levels of stress and fast pace, which are ever increasing. It's not sustainable. Click-y management. It's sort of a spoiled boys club (despite few women among them). Recent promotions and hires only supported "like hires like" rule: no diversity at all. Very few vacation days (15 days and mandatory shutdown). A lot of lip service: during all hands HR has brought an issue of bad Glassdoor reviews, but didn't show any care to address the issues. Ever-constricting review cycle, open office plan and agile. All the tooling to make your workspace as painful as it gets. Managers can slack off-hours. The work you do drastically changes quarter to quarter, no consistency. It is fully determined by management, you have no say - engineers are pawns in their game. Engineers are considered a disposable commodity and not appreciated. Lack of empathy from leadership. CEO's quote highlights the hypocrisy pretty well: "one cannot achieve great things with mediocre effort" and then explicitly says that not everybody is suited to work here. Here goes "inclusive" workspace!

Vantaggi

Decent base salaries. Due to the company's structure and goal shifting, you get experience in a lot of different aspects of the company. Past non-negotiable goal milestones, there is some flexibility, you have the opportunity and freedom to make the job your own. Good work-life balance, and commendable company goals around sustainable ag etc. made working here stand out.

Svantaggi

Raises and bonuses not given for several years due to company not reaching unattainable goals. Lots of turnaround from constant layoffs. During my time there, I had a new manager about every year. No clear goals, and when they are clear they constantly shift. It is hard to grow salary wise within the company, especially when money is tight. You will be able to get more responsibilities and learn new skills, but don't expect your pay to reflect this. Lots of financial mismanagement within the company causing current R&D funding and operations to be barely present.
