Pros

Growing company. Good benefit. Stock price is high. But they have two to four years vesting. Majority would quit before that.

Cons

low morale in HR team (fulfillment center). No training for new HR person. Learn everything by reading from guidlines and asking questions from other HR. One process could have 50 pages in the guidelines. Even when reach out to other HR for help, not all the time they would be available. High turnover in HR team. Between 3 buildings in inland empire California, less than a year, I counted at least 5 HR person quit. That's a very high number. Low pay for HR compare to market. No work life balance. If one HR person takes vacation, the site becomes short staff. Majority of the sites are short staff in HR department.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
