Pros

After some very negative press about the work culture, many changes have been rolled out that have greatly improved the work/life balance. Chee Chew in particular has been an outstanding addition to the company and is leading the way on improving the culture, starting from his org. The company is growing very rapidly and it's really exciting to be a part of it!

Cons

Benefits still need to be improved. Particularly 401k matching.

Pros

- I work on a great team, and the process for Career advancement is cut and clear.

Cons

- Lots of teams that are only loosely aware of each other need to interact. This creates a lot of bottlenecking on other teams
