Pros

location is near lots of fun restaurants

Cons

- jobs at the top are given to family and friends only which leads to a lot of corruption - leadership has zero accountability and are not required to lead their team so everyone runs wild--soooo much chaos - backstabbing culture - dishonest employees - over-promise and under-deliver which leads to a lot of negative feedback from customers, but company does nothing about it - leadership makes fun of customers and employees--very immature environment - male leadership make inappropriate comments to women - women not supported or prompted to leadership roles

Pros

The People other than top management,

Cons

Top management isn't concerned about the people. When they get top people, they place little value in them and if you get on the wrong side of one member of the management board, she will attempt to get your fired (this is backed by multiple examples) and unfortunately, has the full backing of the disengaged CEO so nothing is done about her toxic ways. The incentive for me to write this review is because it's a horrible environment full of tremendous turnover and I feel very sad for how people here are treated and don't want talented people to waste their their time figuring this out for themselves. Management will tell you that these reviews are written by a few disgruntled people who write repetitive reviews but this is not the case and demonstrates how they make excuses and don't actually listen or even worse, care.

Pros

Great VP engineering. Who is new to the company. He is calm and intelligent and a great addition to the exec team. He is very keen on communication, empowering others. Company has a really interesting tech stack (hardware, software, apps, kiosks). Very few companies have such a large stack and working here does give you an ability to contribute. Company generally rewards individuals that contribute to solutions. If you want things handed to you on a silver platter then this place is not for you. Somewhat flexible work hours. Great location to work. I really really like the people I work with. They are smart but also have nice personalities. Good Product/Market Fit. They actually make money. A lot of other companies in the SF area have no concept how to make actual money. I actually like working here because I like to take initiative, and if you do that here you will like it here. If you do not like to solve problems then you will not like it here. Just for the record, there has been no systematic forcing of people to write good reviews. I decided to write a review because I felt that a lot of the reviews on glass door are not true and toxic and wanted to write from my own experience vs. just people who go on glass door to bash their previous employer. Grow up everyone. Anonymous does not mean bash people because you can do it secretly. Be part of the solution not the problem. Another note. Unfortunately glassdoor is anonymous so you can say you are an employee but you may not even work here anymore.

Cons

Too much to do sometimes relative to the amount of resources. It's hard to hire in the bay area in general. The exec team in the past were heavily involved in the details and seemed to thrive on high speed which does not work well with a larger team that we have now. This is getting better.
