Pros

Talented People and cutting edge work. Keeps you busy. Good health plan. 2 Year lock for Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Free Dinner.

Cons

Unfriendly work environment. Although people are talented, there is too much of attitude. Too many emails and people do not like in-person interaction. Lack of work and life balance. Poor Project schedule planning. Always the schedule slips more than a year. There is no growth for Individual contributors. There is no compensation based on performance. No bonus and they do not give good no. of RSUs any more. Its pretty much your base salary. No 401K matching. There is no Paid Time Off. They call it, Professional Time Off which means you talk to your manage and get as much as vacation. Who in the world allows you to take a long vacation. When ever you ask your manager, he/she says, we can't give you more than two weeks due to schedule. Lots of dis-satisfied employees that's reducing the people efficiency. There lots of people leaving the company and the management is not putting much effort in stopping that. Managers do not care about their employees. Employees are frequently moved to different managers in a short time. Sometime that really affects the reviews. Overall its not a employee oriented company.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
