Pros

For me, just location. People that are coming from the east bay and cannot get into Workday, this is for you.

Cons

Executives (CFO, CEO, BoD) are focused on showing $$ so shareholders are happy (even if it takes closing an entire office). Middle Management (CTO, VP's) are focused on building resumes (changing solutions even if it's working great) and vesting their RSU's. Directors and below are the only ones showing concern about improving/fixing the services/infrastructure but most do not know what they're doing and the ones that do and are good are having a hard time being heard. HR Team is a joke. They are only concerned about the company not getting sued. They do not care for the employees. They talk to you and give you a big smile but as you turn around they are probably sighing in relief that you are gone already. They have surveys like GLINT and Flyers "How are you feeling today" campaign but nothing is getting done no matter how you respond to it. I know as it's been two years and they have not changed. Most employees here are not happy. The ones that are happy here are probably friends with upper management as favoritism is rampant here.
