Pros

Pay is very good. Some teams have lots of learning opportunities, some very smart engineers.

Cons

Very poor office culture. Disrespectful people - lots of drama, theatrics for small things. Some teams have matured and are stuck in maintenance mode. As a result, there are quite a few people with lots of free time in their hands who have nothing better to do than throw their weight around. While the pay makes up for some of this, there is no 401K matching, commute to the city can be an expensive PITA.

We are very sorry to hear about the situation you are in. That is definitely not what we strive to be, and we have zero tolerance for disrespectfulness! Because we stress the importance of open communication, issues that may arise between team members are encouraged to be discussed with your manager and with your involved coworker so we can find the best solution. Managers are available for 1:1 meetings and our open office seating allows for easy reachability. We hope that you are able to make the necessary steps to work on this problem with your team!
