Pros

The company values 'fun' and still invests in fun activities and clubs. The pay , benefits, bonus and RSUs are generous especially for working in Utah

Cons

High performers are rewarded with more RSUs to try and get you to stay longer, but other than that it feels like recognition is more how you show versus how you do. It is not encouraged to take risks and every change needs so much approval.. the opposite of agile.
