Pros

Cool brand, free stuff at the office in Scotts Valley. CEO seems like a nice guy and cares.

Cons

Innovation has died. Internal culture of a meeting for everything, they can go on for hours with no agenda and no takeaways! Middle managers don't delegate anything and don't realise the talent they have within the company. Needs big changes to grow again - company doesn't like talking about its failures internally.

Pros

As someone said before there are really no pros besides the non-management people. Products lack innovation and employees are underpaid and overworked.

Cons

Management is terrible and it’s been a revolving door for years and years. They keep changing things every year and the results keep getting worse. Compensation is below average for the Bay Area and cost of living adjustments are meager and inconsistent. Also don’t count on your bonus. There is no vision and the CEO just seems content to change the deck chairs every year on this sinking ship.
