      Wonderful experience

      Project manager
      Former employee
      Los Angeles, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      I felt surrounded by incredibly intelligent people, most of who were humble and hungry as well. I loved my day to day but also the mission of what we were doing and this was a common experience. I felt valued and empowered. I had a healthy work life balance with realistic expectations for performance and excellent leadership.

      Cons

      Pay and benefits were okay, but not highly competitive compared to many other high valuation tech companies. Minimal employee turnover meant there were few vertical opportunities.

      Learning is good but toxic culture of work life balance and zero diversity in some teams

      The brand name you add to your resume The learning you receive in the fast paced environment Competition and growth specially the promotions are quick

      Cons

      Zero work life balance You work in a factory not in the office Some managers are really not that great with the knowledge

      Big corporation it's about numbers not people.

      Service technician
      Former employee
      Fife, WA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, work life balance

      Cons

      Poor management, they only care about numbers, they rather have quantity over quality. Disrespectful towards service members. Nepotism, if you're friends with the managent is easy to get a promotion. No matter if you have senority over people they only help people in their circle.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Pay is good and employees are great You get laid off every year so they release you from being overworked so that's a plus

      Cons

      Zero work life balance, unpaid overtime expected, no lunch expected. CEO is a moron that doesn't know what he's doing and nukes the stock for giggles
