Thank you for your feedback. We (HR and Talent Acquisition) do extensive bench-marking against other technology companies in the Bay Area and beyond to ensure we stay competitive in the market with salaries and benefits. That said, things change quickly -- particularly in engineering. If you would like to talk further on this topic, reach out to your manager or HR business partner. If you think we're far off, we'd like to hear it and make changes if needed! -Andrew Levy

Pros

Great people, cool environment, cool products, and so much going on that it's great to be a part of. Lots of opportunity to contribute. The flexibility to work remotely is fantastic too.

Cons

Too much work seems to be in silos. Duplicated efforts in various parts of the company leads to redundancy of effort and confusion sometimes.
