Pros

-great team mates, down to earth and humble. - nice modern work space if you don't mind open concept, SJ CHQ is less than year old. it's bit more cramped than our previous office even though they claim it is same in sq/ft -decent benefits; bonus & espp will put nice chunk of change in your pocket -high growth company -people are receptive to change and generally cooperative, you can potentially make big impact

Cons

-high growth= growing pains -poor systems and process; partially due to growing pains and partly due to poor decisions on the part of management -long hours -lots of focus on quantity vs quality, so alot of things get delivered or accomplished but end result isn't always great -have to do weekly status reports: while in theory this is nice way for management to keep tabs on the org it does take a lot of time and does lean towards micro management. especially when our direct managers challenge/change/remove employees comments...does the upper management truly know what is going on if final status they are given has been modified several times before it reaches their desk. -tons of meetings means less time to focus on day to day work, often end up working late or on the weekends this seems especially prevalent in certain functions -penny wise pound foolish; too much focus on cost that leads to short cuts and in the end we suffer with a not so great end result or in case of systems sometimes have to re-implement or spend alot of money to get fixes in places, aside from money employees waste alot of time being unproductive when systems don't work well

Pros

Human resources are smooth talkers and apparently honest and sincere.

Cons

The company has owed me money for costs I incurred during the visit I made for the face to face interview. I submitted the receipts months ago and they fully admit that they owe the money but each time I manage to get through to someone at HR, they inform me that there were just some technical difficulties and that the payment should arrive any day now. These days, they just don't answer my calls or email.
