      Pros

      Relaxed, fun culture with flexibility in work from home/hours on a lot of teams. Great coffee, stylish offices. New tower is being constructed. Starting an initiative to encourage internal growth and movement. Pays well!

      Cons

      This is just a great company! No real complaints.

      Possibly the slowest place in Silicon Valley

      Pros

      Good work life balance since there is no pressure or incentive to perform. Unlimited PTO.

      Cons

      Extremely bureaucratic environment that favours pointless meetings over results. Administration heavy with extremely dated process for all internal communications and HR matters. Very stingy in terms of equipment offered. Substandard perks for Silicon Valley. Far below market rate salaries. Very little innovation and future forward thinking, mostly cruising on past achievements. Very little upwards mobility.
