Pros

The compensation is good and mostly inline with industry norms.

Cons

The company has gone through layoffs/firings almost yearly and no real effort is made to retain top talent. Stock options are offered but the company will not provide any information necessary to evaluate their value. I estimate that the average employee's option grant, which vests over 4 years (assuming they are not laid off), is likely worth less than 1/4 of their yearly salary. Management is mostly comprised of people with no business or engineering experience, important technical and product decisions are made without seeking input from engineering.

Pros

Unlimited PTO that you’ll feel guilty using

Cons

Every other review here is 100% correct. The CEO and his loyal minions have no idea how to run a business and shift blame from one person to the next, tanking company culture. It’s a great place to snag a good job tittle but you won’t stay long.
