Vantaggi
- Mediocre Benefits: 401K Matching, Health Insurance (used to be better than it is now), flexible PTO, and ESPP - Work from home policy is also flexible - Technical stack is okay; mediocre really - If you are willing to set strict boundaries with your managers/teams you can have very good work life balance here. - If you get lucky you can have good managers who care about your growth within the company. You could however get unlucky and get the opposite - If you want a job where you can cruise and are okay with your current base salary and minimal raises this place can be amazing
Svantaggi
- Compensation is below market rate, especially if you have been with the company for a number of years. For this reason alone I'd recommend all candidates to negotiate the highest possible base salary during the interview process. - Compensation adjustment even for top performers are not able to keep up with market rates; I believe this is due to the company's internal process for how funds are allocated towards bonuses and raises. I would recommend new or mid-level engineers to leave after 2 years as your market value will far outpace any compensation adjustments you will receive here. - There are free lunches but the quality of the food is very poor. Mostly staples such as rice, potatoes/starchy food, "salads", and bland mystery meats that sometimes require you to identify them by reading the tray labels. Many employees actually prefer Taco Bell down the street over the free lunch. The lunches used to be much more palatable in the past. - The "free beer on tap" is also always out. The tap will stay empty for weeks. (The only reason this made it into the review is because almost every recruit is told of the free beer and daily lunches; I feel it is only fair they know the truth) - Holiday season is the busiest at this company. Many of the business deliverables have deadlines around the new year and unfortunately many are not defined well enough for development until 4 months before the deadline. Meaning development really starts around Fall, starts to ramp up in November and by Thanksgiving the stress levels are astronomic. They typically remain high up until Christmas and around NYE as well.
