Smart colleagues, great collaboration, and a decent work/life balance

Almost ideal place

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work with smart and capable people. Great work/life balance - not expected to work long hours. Best collaborative environment in Silicon Valley. Steady growth. Rational decision making.

Cons

We've grown at a slow and steady pace, with increasing sales; need to make sure that as the company continues to grow that it does not become burdened with bureaucracy and hierarchy. As the company has grown more management levels have been added so the organization is not as flat as it was; this is probably inevitable but it needs to be kept under control.
