Pros
Been working here almost a year, here are my thoughts:
Stress:
This may be because I work on a pretty self-contained team, but stress levels are incredibly low at Rep.com. Sure, some days get pretty hectic/crunchtime happens now and again, but never anything that would get people on edge or anything.
HR:
Man oh man the HR is awesome. Free lunches, tons of snacks, personal trainer that has bootcamp sessions 3 times a week, free Caltrain passes, etc. It's good stuff. And the best part is how responsive they are. Ex: We kept running out of the mixed nuts. I walk over, ask them if we can double the amounts of mixed nuts--by next week it was done. Same with any other snack--if something wasn't cutting it, just voice your opinion and they'll work to fix it.
Office:
Beautiful office--bright colors everywhere. Designed by the folks who worked on Twitter's HQ. Love coming to work here. Also, in-office showers are the best.
CEO:
The CEO is hilarious. And awesome. I don't feel like he's some looming presence who I never get to interact with. He frequently checks-in with people and is very, very approachable.
Learning:
When I wanted to learn more about Marketing, I walked over to a senior level employee and asked him if I could pick his brain for an hour sometime that week. Did the same thing to a Product Manager. (I don't work in either of those areas.) People are really willing to share knowledge here, which is a comforting feeling for somebody who is in their first job out of college.
Cons
Beer. We used to have free beer. Not anymore. It makes me really, really sad.
