Pros

A lot of the employees are great to work with. ESOP is a plus. Location is good. Parking is good.

Cons

Where do I even begin? Pay is low for the Bay Area and for the space this company is in.. A lot of the employees are great to work with but the clique of employees who worked with each other at another company is blindingly rampant and shows of favoritism for outsiders. Management is inconsistent about performance and punishment for employees who are NOT good at what they do and for dedicated employees who were given an impossible task. Performance reviews are not done in a timely fashion. Communication is not great between colleagues.

Pros

Very friendly and helpful peers. Employee ownership is a true benefit financially and culturally, there is a true sense of ownership top down.

Cons

Poor work life balance, management micro-manages activity and hyper critical. Onboarding was slow and somehow there was still expectation for high activity.
