Pros

Vacation is unlimited, but recently some teams started to mandate management approvals to get it, previously you would submit the request ahead of time and all set to go. Company matches 6% of your 401K contributions vested immediately.

Cons

The culture of indifference at many levels - most managers do not see you as a person, but rather as a replaceable resource, Most products are legacy ones with a lot of questionable code, a lot of time you will patch issues instead of developing a new code base. Many managers are grown from within and are skilled developers without soft skills to manage people, many old-guard people managers just care about their own growth and will throw you under a bus to step up. Engineering culture is very strange - managers cultivate backstabbing by requesting a regular anonymous feedback on other employees in 1-1's. You will be shuffled between projects on a quarterly basis instead of focusing on a specific area and deep dive into it.

Pros

Great benefits Great coworkers - smart, driven, and committed

Cons

The leadership is in their own world and disconnected from what employees are actually experiencing. And with that, they are disconnected as to how their behavior directly impacts the entirety of the company--from their values to their character, from their priorities to their approach. It's clear here: it's all about money; it's all about business; it's all about (individually) getting ahead. Overall, the leadership and management skills of the executive team and high-level management are poor. This trickles down to the rest of the company leading to myriad of issues and increasingly disheartened employees.

Cons

Bullying and lack of diversity for women. Male domination that is overwhelming and a lot of special treatment to keep men over women in sales/marketing positions
