Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Mentally, emotionally, and spiritually draining.
Pros: Pay is competitive, Benefits (Medical/Dental/ESPP), and Bonus structure (if the employee manages to get a good review).

Free drinks
Cons: Toxic Culture - Stank ranking review method pits one individual contributor against the other, and the environment becomes quite competitive and even cut throat. The focus moves from what is best for the team/customer, to indivuals only interested in doing what is best for themselves and their own career advancement.
