The Weak leadership are not able to keep capable employees.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

CEO and company is generous enough to give adequate compensations

Cons

Poor management skills and technical capabilities on customer support. Support Manager are not technical but pretended to know everything . Can only manage junior engineers who are from integration and testing background. Lack of full understanding of data flow to solve problems . The credit of easy fixes is taken and difficult one is thrown to who actually is to be blamed. A lot of the fixes for customer only cover the surface fix. No one is able and willing to solve the root problem.

Pros

RSU's at higher level will gives you good feel,but it is just carrots...

Cons

you get laid off if your relation with manager is not good.. or product is not working due to bad strategies of company itself. if you want peace of mind, dont look for this company. ANother, even when world is working from home, CEO wants employees should come in office and take risk to get infected!

Good overall employer

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I work with are great and the direct managers I worked with are approachable and willing to help. The benefits are solid and there was even a health plan with no deductible which was impressive. There are stock benefits and retirement options that are very nice.

Cons

It is a large company and as you get up the leadership chain there is less interest in the person and more interest in the process and the metrics. While the benefits are quite good the salary was just competitive and nothing spectacular. In some situations I would rather see a higher base salary than to see it paid out "maybe" or "probably" in a bonus or RSUs.
