Pluspunten

- great people, they do a pretty good job of hiring people who would fit in with the team so people like to work together - work life balance and benefits are solid, but cafeteria and gym are not free - lots of young people - put on nice events once in a while (star wars showings every year, company meetings, etc.) - stocks and unlimited PTO

Minpunten

- management lacks training and self-awareness - no real feedback or way to give constructive criticism; feedback system is mostly for giving each other compliments for visibility - promotion standards are not aligned across the company, I have friends who got promoted within their first year, but on my team no one was promoted for 2 years - XO is not a transferrable skill for software developers and I believe it hinders if not hurts your career - at least on my team, it felt like my individual career and growth was not important as long as the team pushed out work and the work was not stimulating or matched any of our talented team members’ strengths - location

Pluspunten

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Minpunten

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
