Pros

Nice building in San Jose, close to train station, great kitchen area, fresh fruits provided every Monday.

Cons

Too high vertical hierarchy, bureaucratic procedures, unclear goals, massive regular layoffs, old product, annoying periodical "Ethic training" with quizzes, formal and meaningless performance reviews, incompetent management, no room to grow, frequent early morning and late night meetings due to very distributed teams in all time zones of USA, as well as Israel and India.
