Pros

Great benefits (stock plan, tuition assistance, healthcare). Laid back culture. Seems a little more results oriented than political in terms of who gets promoted. Upper management and executive leadership makes a real effort to visit and listen to concerns from all levels of workers.

Cons

If you start at the bottom, it can take several years to start moving up. High paying, career jobs are somewhat limited in the call centers.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
