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
