Pros

- Fun and collaborative culture - The team is great. They're all people I actually want to hangout with, go on a coffee walk with, or grab lunch with. - All of the senior management seems to really care about the company and it's employees. - The company is continuing to grow at a healthy rate and has a big opportunity to improve the way that millions of companies around the world collaborate. - Lunch catered 3 times a week, coffee/boba card for going on walks and grabbing coffee with other team members, stocked with snacks and drinks - Great location in downtown Redwood City. Across the street from the Caltrain station, lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and tea shops within walking distance, not far from 101

Cons

- Experienced some growing pains in the second half of 2016 that the team had to work through. Feels like we've made it through now though. - I don't like that the company is split up between two floors already at ~75 people, but I guess that's just something that is inevitable as you grow.

Pros

1) Engineer's are super talented 2) Customer support team is awesome! 3) Catered meals three days a week?

Cons

1) It's been unreal how unwelcoming some people have been here. 2) There was a young girl who was working with the hr team and I genuinely felt bad for her because they gave her minimal to no training and expected her to know everything. They were so mean to her! I met her a couple weeks before she was let go. She was crying outside and we got to talking and she told me how awful they have been. It is crazy because hr is who you go to when you need someone to talk to but at HighFive everyone knows to stay away from hr all they do is whisper gossip. They have been there for a long time and are good with C-level employees and no one wants to give them a reason to talk about them. 3) No opportunity for growth. 4) Need training programs 5) Need to train management to learn to motivate employees instead of causing absenteeism. Which happened to me in just a couple of months. 6) Millennials stay away! Millennials for the most part are nice and are helpful and don't mind mistakes because they take it as an opportunity to learn. This company if you make a mistake they will hate you and start gossiping. 7) I have had the worst experience and have been actively applying. Just moved out to the bay area and it is extremely expensive to live out here or else I would've quit two months ago. 8) Very unorganized 9) Personally I feel like I have been set up for failure 10) My first two weeks I cried everyday on my drive home after a while I just knew work would be awful and I got use to the feeling.
