Pros

* if u have no job and get an offer from this company, this is a good stepping stone while u learn * I think this is still a stable company (no layoff yet)

Cons

* no vacation (unlimited vacation in management term) = 1/2 - 3/4 months of money less than other companies for many employees * No raise for promotion (neither stock or salary) ....if I knew this earlier, I would not like a promotion! * almost no matching on 401k (1.2%? don't remember the smaller fraction!!) * fire-fighter style with no money rewards!

Excellent compensation with strong base pay, bonuses, and quarterly RSU vesting that truly rewards performance. The company moves fast with clear priorities and strong financial results. Management is straightforward and execution-focused, though the pace can be demanding. Great for those who thrive in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High pressure with occasional work-life balance challenges
