Pros

Great work life balance, encouraged to work from home when showing sick symptoms, lots of on campus socials and events. Really good benefits and pays well.

Cons

Your just a statistic at this company here to do code within a very narrow set of defined proprietary tooling. There is no loyalty to you at this company and it is likely due to disconnected leadership you will get moved onto multiple teams over a 2-3 year period due to the constant chopping blocks. They try scrum and agile yet got rid of all scrum masters. Promotions are arbitrary and not based on your merits or tenure rather you are judged by people who may not even know who you are, what you have done etc. Greater majority of employees are either fresh out of college with no real experience but create an echo chamber of thought process. They have trouble hiring experienced talent because of inexperienced engineers who have only ever worked at Intuit doing interviews. Very political, bias and disconnected executive leadership. Company earns two thirds of its revenue via tax but insists everything be made via Quickbooks platform in Mountain View and then syndicated to all other platforms and/or locations. Hiring process is greatly based on social engineering principles and made more difficult to get past screenings if not considered a minority. Have literally been told by a recruiter to make my best effort to hire because they are a diversity candidate as if being qualified is secondary.

Pros

Used to be a good company. Good people from that era that haven’t left yet or been laid off. Free coffee from baristas featuring local roasteries

Cons

Quite possibly one of the worse run companies. Last minute changes to appease the CEO, interlocks on interlocks with no one knowing who is leading and expecting finance to know everything, overly reliant on finance to make up for other teams’ lack, recent leadership and manager hires have been subpar and asking far too much of their employees. Everyone is burnt out. No more smiles. If the job market wasn’t a problem, I doubt many would still be there
