      High Office Policy and Less Opportunity

      Pros

      The benefit is really good: free lunch, good insurance plan and flexible benefits.

      Cons

      Each team will have a 3-5-2 compulsory performance review distribution. So if you are a technical staff member, please remember: the VOICE of your project matters, your POSITION in your leader's subconscious matters, while technical skills are not that important.

      Pros

      Good compensation, food is nice in San Jose office

      Tons of micromanagement, reorg half a year, chaotic management. Managers have tons of power and quick visa sponsorship.
