From when I was there:

1. Benefits are okay overall
2. Yes you do get a company phone
3. 401k match is 6% but no match your 1st year
4. Pto is like 15-20 days or something but nobody tracks it so you can take whatever (except utilization impact). Literally the dumbest system where I couldn’t even find what I’ve taken or what was left.
5. ESPP is 5% discount if I remember right and it wasn’t even worth participating in when you look at how stock has performed last 5-10 years.
6. No additional benefits like health/wellness subsidy
