Pros

Great work-life balance, Great benefits, Excellent Compensation package, Very advance technology.

Cons

The teams operate in silos. So, corporate alignment is a new concept to the company. The directors seem to focus on their own success rather than the success of the organization. Most teams seems to be in reactive mode most of the time and not in proactive mode.

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
