Pros

The people I work with are great and the direct managers I worked with are approachable and willing to help. The benefits are solid and there was even a health plan with no deductible which was impressive. There are stock benefits and retirement options that are very nice.

Cons

It is a large company and as you get up the leadership chain there is less interest in the person and more interest in the process and the metrics. While the benefits are quite good the salary was just competitive and nothing spectacular. In some situations I would rather see a higher base salary than to see it paid out "maybe" or "probably" in a bonus or RSUs.

Pros

Yearly bonus is nice, company grows at incredible pace and if you get shares, they can double their value.

Cons

Company treats it’s employees like a livestock. If you enjoy feeling like you’re a number in the system, you’ll get a lot of it here. Management will sooth you with good looking numbers, but will cancel or sell the whole project before you actually get anything. You won’t get salary raise in a years so they save a bit of money and have better yearly reports.
