Pros

Top level management have the right ideas Nice perks at HQ, free food and great vibe with colleagues

Cons

+1 on other reviews about middle management, totally here to coast and do minimal work. They will go against the company direction for their own agenda. Communication is often silo'd to create hostility. Two rounds of lay offs mean co-workers are watching their backs and burning out, poor middle managers prey on this vulnerability.

Pros

As someone said before there are really no pros besides the non-management people. Products lack innovation and employees are underpaid and overworked.

Cons

Management is terrible and it’s been a revolving door for years and years. They keep changing things every year and the results keep getting worse. Compensation is below average for the Bay Area and cost of living adjustments are meager and inconsistent. Also don’t count on your bonus. There is no vision and the CEO just seems content to change the deck chairs every year on this sinking ship.
