Pros

Collaborative approach to product design/development. People are genuinely supportive of each other.

Cons

When Dave Duffield was CEO the guidance was very clear - nothing is more important than customer satisfaction (existing customers). Today the focus is on acquisition of new customers and existing customers take a back seat. Way too many levels of management who are not adding any value at all.

Pros

Culture is not a tick in the box but the owners actually believe the company has no reason to exist with the core values of the company. The technology is extremely strong. The market is the actual core business of our customers, hence you are very relevant to these customers.

Cons

The operational processes are a bit lagging the company growth, but that is being worked on.

Pros

Work life balance is above average. There are talented engineers to work with. Workday clubs are great. Snack program. Great for your resume.

Cons

Xpresso can be a career limiting technology (though in my opinion it's a powerful technology). Your quality of life is VERY team dependant. Some teams are great, others have highly toxic politics. Pay is above average for smaller less established companies but far behind the more established ones. Promotions aren't common. It kinda feels like there is an "in crowd" and then there is everyone else. Flexible work from home policy isn't. You get Fridays to work from home and anything more that that and your manager will be speaking with you. Unlimited PTO isn't. It's 4 weeks per year that don't accrue and doesn't pay out when you leave.
