Pros

Good income. Easy implementations. Many ways to improve.

Cons

It has no process Bad inventory policies Too many extra staff at risk of layoffs There is no leadership There is no good treatment of staff Even though they say there are unlimited vacations, it is never a good time to take them. Paternity leave is said to be 14 weeks and they don't let you take it.

Pros

You get to build around one of the most exciting products to come to market since the iphone. The teams you work with will be incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. RJ gives clear guidance on what is happening all the time.

Cons

Biggest con right now is they're requesting everyone to go back to work when Covid levels are rising. Remote work should be an option for those who have been doing it for OVER A YEAR now without any issues. This shouldn't be a manager driven thing but should the employee want to do such then they have the option, not management. RSUs are a joke - you get taxed on them like crazy and they make it feel like they're a better option than stock options for the employee. Make sure you get a high base pay because a large chunk of your RSU's will get eaten up in standard income taxes vs. long term capital gains (15%) like leadership does. Lastly, company is moving fast so there are a lot of redundant roles being created because one side of the business doesn't know what the other side of the business is doing. This will result in layoffs in the future once people figure out they're building the same things.
