Pros

This is my first company that I started working for after I started living in the USA. And the funny story about how I got this job is this: this is the third offer that I initially turned down after receiving it. I accepted the previous two initially, but as you can imagine, I still work at Glassdoor. The best thing about the company is that it is a beacon of the best place to work philosophy, so by definition, we are not allowed to fail in this area. And while I realize that since I'm on the engineering team, I'm a little biased, I still believe in our company's mission. I have been treated fairly from the beginning until now. My efforts and intentions are recognized and appreciated as I expect. I have a stable salary and benefits. I have a project that I like, a team that I like, and a job that I like. Who needs more?

Cons

Nothing beyond the routine specifics of work

Glassdoor Response
