Pros

The startup feel and environment gives you a sense of contribution that you often don't get at larger companies. Your work feels meaningful and good work is recognized and rewarded. As the company has grown year over year more benefits have been added as well such as twice weekly free lunch, company holiday parties, gym membership.

Cons

As a company that works with larger partners people tend to wear many hats. This could often lead to longer work hours during periods of deadlines, but is not unexpected for startup companies that are thriving.

Pros

Employees are friendly, smart, interesting people to work with. Location is pretty nice--reasonable commute from the city or East Bay, a lot of restaurants/bars nearby, not terribly far from the gym if that's your thing. Projects have the potential to be interesting.

Cons

Delegation of projects is ridiculous. Some people are totally overworked while others are forgotten--who falls into which category seems to change fairly often, even if the total number of projects going on doesn't change. CEO is unprofessional. Frequently insults current employees (lazy, drug addicts, crazy) and gossips about former employees (never by name, but still describes them enough that it's obvious). Likes to have an audience when he chastises people. Is especially rough on the (few) women in the office. Extremely high turnover--despite being told that no one leaves the company, nearly 15 people have left (most quit, some were fired) in the past year. Enough people are casually looking for employment elsewhere that there is an unofficial bet about who will leave first. Growth within the company is fairly nonexistent. If you don't have a math degree or "technical background," it will be assumed that you are incapable of learning even the most basic technical terms. That degree is more important than your proven skills. Pay is extremely low for the industry.

-There are interesting problems to work on, and there is always room for improving the company's products and technologies. -All of your coworkers are extremely intelligent and motivated. -You get to work on some of the world's largest data sets using state of the art machine learning methods. -Great for those interested in a career in statistics or data science.

Cons

-Company growth is very slow. -Compensation is very below average for people in this field. -The company is not interested in rewarding those who remain with them, management prefers employees with little experience.
