Pros

The people you work with will become your family.

Cons

- Company politics are ridiculous, and it takes knowing the right people to get anywhere in the company. - True talent is not recognized and the "teachers pet's" are allowed to steal credit from those who are driving the business. - Tenured employees who know the business are compensated the lowest, and it takes leaving the company and coming back in as an external hire to get decent pay.

Pros

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.

Cons

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
