Great potential, yet still poor execution

Pros

Unlimited vacation Free food (although, not always great food) Fun monthly outings Nice, friendly, and smart co-workers Everything Ruby! Great pay

Cons

Seeing what I wrote in the Pros section makes me feel less enthusiastic about working here, because that is mostly surface level and most tech companies here in the bay have this Lack of real empathy from management This has turned into a "drive fast and ignore who or what you hit on the way" sort of culture Nothing new to build from the ground up. There is more inheritance of old products to pack on top new features, but no real movement to fix or re-architect those old products C-level execs and VPs are disconnected and in the clouds about the good that's happening with business, and less about culture they claim to value

Catered meals is the only good part. The office space is very cheap and is right on 17th and Mission

Very high turnover. Difficult to communicate with CEO. CEO is never satisfied.

Pros

Low to no standards. They'll take anyone. Lots of extra benefits.

Cons

No structure and entrenched beauracracy. Bitter legacy employees who have seen a lot of turnover in management.
