Avantages

-Working with many awesome folks -Ability to learn -Great CEO -Cheap mass produced made in china products is great for business

Inconvénients

-What product/feature to developed is groomed from what financial goal your group needs to hit instead of what is the best possible experience you can do for your customers -The performance review process is based on popularity contest, as it is mandatory 10% of the staff in your team receives the lowest grade, thus the rating process is based on who is perceived as high performers vs. quantifiable achievements. What ends up happening is those true top performers become victims to those that have the ability to manage up very well. So even if you are in a team where your boss has your back, it doesn't help if you don't stand out and have recognition beyond your team. -Pay is below industry average -No free food -Parking lot full when coming back from lunch

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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
