      Pros

      I'm still a newbie here but I can already say it's the best company I've worked for, especially with regards to benefits and perks. You can tell they really take care of their employees. There's more diversity here than I've had at past companies too! Everyone is super nice and helpful and the founders are all very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. None of the bigwigs I've talked to are intimidating at all!

      Cons

      The only thing I can think of (since I'm still new) is that the office is located in Downtown San Mateo where you have to pay for parking...BUT the company still offers commuter benefits to help with that. It's really not an issue since working at the office is not required yet because of the pandemic.

      Pros

      I’ve only been at the company a few months but I’ve been blown away by the very positive and constructive culture. Upper management really “walks the walk” and this is as apolitical and collaborative a culture I’ve ever worked in. People really enjoy working here, and it shows. Upper management is also very (at least outwardly) low-ego and patient and reasonable with expectations.

      Cons

      It’s a fast growing, small company (less than 300 employees.) if you want layers of bureaucracy, tightly defined roles, and large teams to manage, probably not your bag. That said, the resources and process are very good for a company of this size.
