Pros

Senior Leadership truly care about their employees, as well as society. This is the number one reason to work here. Stock options and ESPP have been amazing, huge returns. Really smart, amazing and just good people to work with. Cutting edge technology is just cool!

Cons

Don't let them convince you to come on board at a lower level with the promise of great opportunities. They won't make significant position jumps internally, even if you've been at higher levels at other employers prior. Seems to be significant hiring from outside, especially for senior positions, rather than recruiting from within. Sad, the people that got them here I guess are not worthly of continuing the journey.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
