Pros

Perks are good. Pay is good (excluding RSUs).

Cons

US engineers are treated as second class citizens. It is difficult to get anything done without China engineers and they are not usually motivated to collaborate with US engineers. It is frustrated to work in this environment and senior management doesn’t seem to care or even publicly acknowledge it as a problem.

Pros

Great place to work. The solutions are always evolving. I can make a change.

Cons

We don't do a good job of telling the world that we are more than meetings. Our agile mindset sometimes moves too fast.

Pros

Nothing about this company is worth noting.

Cons

One of the worst companies I have worked at. Management and leadership are disorganized and unsupportive. Employees get treated like dogs and are talked down to. No work life balance because everything is an escalation or because some “head” requested something. For a company so well regarded, they sure know to how be cheap and take away benefits. Parental leave is basically a slap you in the face. Comp is high but expect to have that dangled in your face or else you get let go. On site lunch and breakfast is nice but how much can you sugar coat the terrible work conditions with little snacks? Everything is such a mess. I’ve been here for almost 7 months and have not met a single person that enjoys their job. DO NOT JOIN ZOOM!
