Pros

A lot of really skilled technical people work here doing interesting things. 40-hr weeks are the norm with work-from-home options for most tech workers. Decent salary and very good benefits.

Cons

Measures taken to reduce bureaucracy have led to more bureaucracy. There is always another process and yet another system to get simple things done.

Thanks for your review. We agree that we have some of the smartest people in the business working together to move our company forward. Our competitive total rewards program helps us attract this level of talent, and work-life balance is a big part of that. We appreciate your point on bureaucracy as well. It’s something we’re focused on continuing to address and improve.
