Pros

There's quite a few- let's see: - Expectations are made very clear and there's an ongoing discussion about progress towards goals with a focus on solutions rather than setbacks - I've rarely encountered any negativity; people are incredibly upbeat and encouraging - People here work together with a common purpose and are happy to reach out for help or with it- just don't be afraid to ask - Great transparency about the direction of the company and where your specific team fits into the larger picture - Even though we are rapidly growing, the people here are always friendly and it feels like a tight-knit community - The company makes a point to listen to how people feel about the culture here and makes adjustments accordingly - Hey benefits. . . love these (although some commuter benefits would be nice too) - No lies about the flexible work schedule; as long as the goals are being met, they don't mind how you get there (no micromanagement shows that they trust their employees enough to treat them like adults) - Dog friendly office! Snacks!

Cons

Not quite as many here: - Location is beautiful, but a bit of a trek from the city or the east bay - Some positions seem to have more room for growth than others and it'd be nice to have more clarity on how to move around from within as well as learning opportunities for those of us interested in continuing in this industry

Thanks for your feedback, and I'm glad to hear Glassdoor's culture is working for you! Career growth is very important to us, both because it's the only way to keep talented people, but also because it's much safer to promote someone internally than attempt to hire from outside the company. Obviously, as fast as we are growing, we can't always grow from within, but it's definitely our first choice. Make sure to have a candid conversation with your manager about career growth, they should be open to it, and the two of you should work out a plan. If that doesn't happen, feel free to come and see me. Thanks - robert

Pros

Mostly nice people Comfortable work environment Lots of nice perks like healthy food, yoga, celebrations and fun parties Ability to listen to employees - one example - short company update meetings Good products

Cons

Unbelievably huge workload ... the elephant in the room that no one discussed ... acted like business as usual. Barely left seat for meals, bathroom breaks, meetings. Engineering / Product group not terribly communicative about product changes ... got better over time.

Pros

Lucrative Sales Comp Plan Low Quotas Cool Team Members Approachable Executives Great Coaching from Managers Creative Freedom Beautiful Location Exciting Future High-Tech Office

Cons

This is tougher to sell than you think Company is only now starting to focus on client services. This is exciting, but long overdue. Things change frequently here. These changes include managers, comp plans, territories, products...etc. You need to be flexible or you will get frustrated.
