Vantaggi
Great product. Great CEO that is truly looking to increase global entrepreneurism through his company. Very nice people, some exceptionally bright and creative. Great benefits.
Svantaggi
Nepotism and politics are ripe, and unfortunately management is mostly blind to it. Lots of unqualified people in very senior roles, which trickles down to mid-level roles and then onwards to individual contributors. It's very hard to find a team of true A-players. A lot of the standout A-players have either left, mysteriously disappeared (or got fired?) or find themselves in high management roles that are not suited to them. My biggest worry is that management is blind to the amount of politics cause they're getting what they want to hear from incompetent subordinates. The stock price is definitely a lagging indicator of the quality of the company, and is more a reflection of its haydays a couple of years ago. Salary is slightly below market these days because they haven't revised their salary bands in some time - at least for product development roles.
