      Pros

      relatively higher compensation compared to peer companies

      Cons

      Cold, not the weather, but the people. About 2 dozen engineers were hired in 2006~2007, more than 50% left the company in 2008, either was squeezed off or laid off. Because that team was merged from a startup, in sake of their own job security, the job related engineering information is not well shared among team workers, especially to new employees. They expect the new employee cannot guess out their old things, then give the new guys underperformance in review and squeeze them off. Intense office politics and high turnover rate.

      Pros

      If you are the type of people, who like to be treated like toilet paper, and who like the excitement of getting laid off at any random time, then you're going to love this place.

      Cons

      - Almost no salary increase for promotions (why even bother promoting) - Company does not care about the morale of their employees (They are even happy when people leave, so that they can meet their attrition rate goals) - Company does not care about health and safety of their employees. (During covid-19, employees were forced to go back to office, and they were even tracked with a cellphone) - Company does not care about customers (They are only after big 500 fortune companies) - Company will try to lay off as many employees as possible in order to save as much money as they can - Company will force their software engineers to switch and use the cheapest software products in the market (even if they are awful) just to save money. Even if it affects productivity and roadmaps. - CEO and higher management do not listen to any feedback to improve morale, and business productivity.

      COVID return to work in US puts employees at risk

      Pros

      Some strong teams with subject matter expertise. Good learning environment if you get the right managers.

      Cons

      Top-down management does not care about employee safety. Many other tech companies are prioritizing work from home and offering stipends to help, HR is tracking employee badging and basically offering people “the choice” of going in to the office or taking unpaid leave. At a time when case numbers in California is going through the roof. But they’ll give you a stipend for testing if you want to get tested. Oh and a cellphone to track you.
