Pros

Great people to work with. Very smart people. Great benefits. People very helpful when you need help. Get to work on cool projects.

Cons

Need better communication between groups. Forced to spend more time at work then with family/friends. Sometimes you have to work long hours and not very well compensated. Having to be at home on weekends watching work emails to see if you have to come into work is not fun when you could be outside relaxing. Caring the company cell phone and having it go off in the middle of the night is not great either. Having to work when the company was shut down during Christmas was not great either. Didn;t get extra compensation.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
