Avantages

There are a lot of really smart and highly motivated people doing the actual work. Pay is pretty darn good, and management is pretty flexible about taking time off or working from home. It's also pretty cool working at a company that is known all over the world.

Inconvénients

- Too many meetings - Far, far too much time spent generating reports for middle management - Annual review process is more like a high school popularity contest and is mapped to a bell curve (just like high school), so actual performance counts for much less than it should - Frequency of updates to the site means quality comes second, and there is never, ever, ever a "slow period" where you can catch up on anything - Too many middle managers - Too many people adding new processes and tools without following through to make them integrated with the rest of the systems

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
