Pros

• Solid competitive SF Bay Area rates of compensation • Fantastic benefits (both in-office, for career, and personal development) • Ample opportunity to make career-defining internal and external impressions with big players in the tech field • Clear paths forward to help improve what we do and how we do it while making progress against personal and career trajectory • Awesome management and regular well-organized peer and management review cycles (2 per year) • Minimal micromanagement (at least, in my department) • Exciting work environment (especially since we are hitting quarterly targets and growing like gangbusters!) • Inspiring teams of big thinkers and all around impressive talent • Excellent intra-department communication

Cons

• Can be a little boy's clubby sometimes (a common issue across tech), especially across leadership roles • Room for improvement with inter-dep't. communication (namely, some folks seem to opt out of Slack, which can be hard to foresee/annoying to work around) • Sales culture overtones can be somewhat off-putting to people that don't historically work in that environment (although, conversely, it's also a driving force in the high energy that makes coming to work fun!)

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
