Avantages

My manager and (most of my) colleagues were professionals, and it was a pleasure to work with them. Great benefits. Good work life balance. My manager was fine with me working from 6-8 at home, and then from 9-4 at the office.

Inconvénients

Physical environment was awful for software development. Salary was not competitive, even when compared to those performing similar work in the company. I got decent performance bonuses, however I object to distribution "on a curve", where managers essentially have to duke it out so their reports can get decent bonuses. This ingrains a belief that you can't have a team where multiple people are performing at "exceeds expectations"-- which isn't true.

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
