Pros

* Superb team: everyone is very capable, helpful and responsible; this is the first time I work for a company where I don't politely cough someone mentions "high hiring bar" * Great work-life balance: you are encouraged to spend your weekends and evenings away from computer and work, and take vacations regularly * Amazing meals: measured on the scale of taste+healthiness, the food is easily the best I've had in Bay Area companies; there are 3 full meals a day at regular times * Positive, cheerful, collaborative atmosphere: we have frequent company-wide events and group visits to musical&theater performances

Cons

* At almost 300 people, the company bypassed the stage when everyone knows everyone and starts to feel less like a family than it used to * Location of SF headquarters is a bit sketchy, like most of the central neighborhoods

Pros

There's real enduring culture where people care about doing really good work. The culture is friendly with strong camaraderie amongst the individual employees, and managers try to do right by their reports.

Cons

Quarterly reorgs, quiet role reductions, and slowly stripping away benefits has made morale worse than ever. It may have been worthwhile if the business was getting better, but it's pretty flat and attrition is very high. With the introduction of the new CEO, Dan Rogers, there's been a clear shift to hard capitalism and people as numbers. Problems have been solved in short-sighted ways, causing discontent even within the leadership ranks. The company was losing some steam beforehand, but now it's "a ship trying to make a sharp turn and keeling over, just barely not capsizing".
