      Pros

      The projects are fun and the job keeps changing. I enjoy working with the people around me. The office is well designed to help boost productivity, you don't feel like you are trapped in a cube farm. The food is a little on the pricey side but it is tasty and well made. The compensation is above average and the company looks like it will keep on growing which is good for everyone.

      Cons

      The crazy and sometimes chaotic environment. A lot of email and meetings but there are people who will try to help you out and reduce the distractions.

      Pros

      Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

      Cons

      1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
