Svantaggi
1. Hard for some teams and people to preserve work/life balance. Some weekend work and email checking. Depends a lot of the team and person. 2. Only twice a year employee stock purchase plan, so if you join at the wrong time you get burned and don't get to participate for six months 3. Stock options are only selectively distributed based generally on how well you negotiated at hire, some people got good deals, other people got nothing, so get no benefit from the stock rally 4. Office cubes can be a bit cramped, but at least it is not open office so one can concentrate with headphones on and its not too bad. Would be nice to have a bit more space and white noise though. 5. Promotions and bonuses only once per year. Twice per year would be nice. 6. Not much parking during peak times 7. Suffers from demo feature creep, and does a bit of smoke and mirrors in marketing, however the management is aware of the issues and knows how to make real products, so this is mainly an issue in early stage projects where a lot is in flux
