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

Generous benefits, decent pay, nice people

Cons

Basket case Company, no communication, crappy product. Stupid practices like council. Council is a stupid ritual where grown adult employees are expected to sit around a circle like an AA meeting and are asked to “describe a recent time where they experienced kindness or when they felt belonging in a community or some other hippy question (puke). Or getting together and doing finger painting! Yes you heard that right, finger painting. They try to be fun and hip but it is so disingenuous, degrading and embarrassing to be involved in these grade school activities.
