Pros
- Intelligent and friendly coworkers - Solid business case and very focused product offering - Employees are given wide ranging responsibilities and are trusted to deliver - Transparent top-level management with monthly competitive strategy updates - Unlimited vacation policy (that people actually take advantage of) - Free lunch and snacks every day - Semi-weekly happy hours - Fun company-wide events at least once per quarter. Recent events include: a day trip to a winery with a private tour and 5-course meal with wine pairings; a mini carnival with games, cotton candy, face painting, and a petting zoo; and a private dinner at Foreign Cinema in SF
Cons
- Classic SV diversity issues (recently added management is diligently working to correct this) - Early employee inner circle sometimes excludes others from strategic decision-making process - Early employees promoted to key management roles sometimes struggle with people management skills - High level positions are starting to fill out, so advancement is becoming more challenging
