Pros

Nice location in downtown Redwood City, fun monthly all-company events, interesting product

Cons

*No women in management. No women FTE's above manager level. Strong women are not seen as team players and actively are leaving the company. *A tremendous amount of politics. You will spend your time focused here rather than doing your job. Watch the meeting rooms. When you see two people in there not reviewing something on a screen, be worried. *Inexperienced CEO. As other have said, the CEO actively pits direct reports against each other. He cannot make a decision and this impacts morale, hiring, and product roadmap. *Largely inexperience management team and board. Most of the management team members have never been in a role above director level nor have they managed people. The board has many first time board members.
