Business Outlook

Pros

The people, the facilities, the activities and comfort factors around the office, the focus on giving employees the best environment and best equipment and possessions for optimising comfort and efficiency. Very relaxing and fun place to work. Work is challenging and rewarding. Training is better than anything college can teach.

Cons

Slight politically liberal undertone, at risk of becoming pervasive. Though that is prevalent in almost all large companies so maybe should be dismissed in a review.

Appreciate the review and candor on the advice to tone down any perceived politics. We really want to be sensitive to this and address it if needed. Thank you for the notice. This is how we listen and improve continually as an already great company!

Business Outlook

Pros

- Very startup-like culture which allows even junior engineers to make a meaningful impact - Most people I have met are very friendly - Managers seem to care a lot about the team as a whole - Fast paced (could be a con depending on who you ask) - I've rarely worked more than 8 hours - Health care benefits are decent and better than most companies - Catered lunch (Not on Thursdays) - Free snacks, drinks, coffee. - Yearly experience money ($1500 towards going on vacation) - Monthly technical book stipend

Cons

- Lots of technical debt from the early days of "getting things done" - Pay might be slightly low but depends on which companies you are comparing to - Fast paced (could be a pro depending on who you ask) - There are quarterly bonuses but they are pretty low overall (it depends on rating) - Ops can be kind of rough depending on team *** I got hosed when it came to relocation money. I was a naive new grad and didn't realize the costs of moving. I ended up coming out of pocket quite a bit. ***
