Pros

Passionate employees and positive business outlook. Most of the interesting problems one might solve as engineer here are still up for grabs. Personal initiative to snag that one cool project is rewarded, and I feel my manager and director are investing heavily in my career success. CEO and VPs are very open to company-scale feedback and even as a relatively new person my input has been taken seriously and often acted on immediately. I've been able to have a major effect on the company's direction. It has been a great place to get my career started.

Cons

We're growing as a company and the organizational changes keep you on your toes. What was once tribal knowledge among tens of devs has had to be taught to hundreds.

Pros

Moving fast Lost of opportunities Lots of perks (401K matching, CalTrain passes, food, drinks, lunches, events, give-aways, time to volunteer) Nice facilities and equipement

Cons

As with many fast moving companies process is lacking and too much knowledge is not written down. It can be hard finding out what you need to know and who to talk to.
