Pros

-Excellent work-life balance. You work the hours you want as long as the job gets done well. -Very friendly and supportive co-workers who practice the president's message of "kindergarten skills." I very rarely had a problematic co-worker. -Great growth opportunities. Company is growing fast and I see employees often carve a path towards new positions that fit with their interests. About 25% of the employees get promoted each year! -Salaries are getting more competitive each year, average increases outpacing Bay Area's cost of living. -Although some other companies within the industry sometimes pay more, they demand more hours. Most employees here seem to work 40-43 hours a week, very low for the industry. -Strong strategic planning skills. The company knows exactly where it wants go next 5 years and consistently meets or exceeds targets. -Becoming a giant in the industry, hasn't had missteps that competitors have had. -Leadership is very supportive of people - transparent with emphasis on equity and diversity, and very supportive of employees with children.

Cons

-Had some growth pains that have mostly been smoothed out. -Earlier reviews mentioned "2040 hours" annually, which is not a hard minimum expectation or a real policy but average working hours for planning purposes (around ~40-43 hours a week).

Pros

The ostensible mission seemed lofty, lots of mechanisms to help employees discuss why a seemingly flat organization is actually riddled with hierarchies and old boys' club mentality

Cons

I had hoped against hope that this would be a dream job, and that is certainly how recruiters try to sell it: great mission with great people who have *great* kindergarten skills. What I found was that there was a lot of lying by the management team, lying on performance appraisals and lying about the lying. I'm not totally unsympathetic: office politics can get complicated and people want to protect their own livelihoods against external pressures. But if you are going to lie about basic terms of employment and your review process, don't slap yourself on the back about the team player that you are.
