Not What They Make It Seem

Pros

Great team members. A very young and lively workforce that are a lot of fun to work with. The office location in San Francisco is terrific as well, right in the middle of downtown and has the hustle and bustle of downtown SF. Great location right by the Montgomery Bart Station as well. The office is very nice as well.

Cons

Employees are not promoted based on performance, but rather based on how well they are able to brown nose and become managers favorites. I have consistently performed and reached around 130% or more of my quarterly goals, and yet my manager has consistently given me negative feedback and held me down from a promotion (NO ONE is able to be promoted unless their manager gives their approval). The company does a very good job making sure the first couple months employees are shown what an amazing company they are working for, but the moral and happiness of employees who have been here for 9 months or longer is INCREDIBLY low and the turnover rate is high (management does a great job keeping this out of the media's attention). The career trajectory is very poor for certain business lines as well.

Pros

Talented developers. Kick ass exec team who are passionate and sincere. Good food and good dev culture.

Cons

There are some growing pains. * Pains in growing culture: culture is slipping and there is the start of a few too many attempts at minimizing the pain with middle management bureaucracy. * Too many product folks building too many things not necessarily aligned to the company goals: there's more then a few projects being built for the sake of engagement. The bigger picture is not apparent internally and for sure externally to the actual LI users. * A few too many cooks in the kitchen: sometimes there is too much architecting/talking/emailing and not enough action. Too many teams building very similar tools only for themselves.
