Pros

- Best compensation package in the LA area. When it comes to engineering, no one pays better - Free benefits (as in for you and your family) and I'm not talking just HMO - OK meals, but hey, they are free - Best vesting schedule with no cliff ... for newer employees - Creative and smart engineers - Hard working team

Cons

- As mentioned in the title, prepare to put in long hours. If you are not working overtime, you are probably not in engineering or you are a legacy employee just waiting to fully vest - Communication between teams (and even within teams) needs improvement - Sink or swim mentality - Not a great place for work/life balance (unless you are single or family comes second to you) - Competition is high. People seem to try to hard to vie for attention. - When stuff breaks, there are no good processes in place. As a result, people usually work in reactionary mode. - Coffee sucks - Not enough bathrooms (in my building anyway)

Pros

Good offers in terms of dollar amount. They do give out a lot of RSUs

Cons

Just a messed up organization with a bad leadership team who do not know how to execute. Very different from a bay area tech company
