Pros

Work from home, nice office spaces, great food locally for lunch. You'll learn a lot on the job and get exposed to many systems. Some senior managers are great and some not so great.

Cons

Disconnected culture with some teams. It feels a little out of touch and ironically, outdated in some ways.

Pros

Love the products, the culture and the office atmosphere. Lots of flexibility for remote workers who can travel to the bay area for frequent visits and office-time. Down-to-earth CEO and C-staff, and a lot of emphasis on the value of employees (and customer focus).

Cons

Some micromanaging at higher levels which takes away productivity and empowerment.

Pros

Very friendly and supportive environment; great SF location; CEO has a real vision for the company; sustainability and diversity actually matter and the company is making strides towards both; our customers make awesome things with our products (Bay Bridge, low-cost incubators for premature babies; sustainable buildings; Tesla).

Cons

Communication between working teams is not part of the formal corporate culture; though high-level communications are shared, information needed to do daily jobs can be hard to discover.
