Pros

- Great engineering talent, always willing to help and easy to collaborate with - Smart and hard working people all around - Onsite lunches everyday, beautiful office location if you're in the north bay or SF

Cons

- Commute can be expensive if you're living in the city especially GG bridge toll i.e. 6.5$ everyday, company should really reimburse this for the folks who come from SF

Pros

My coworkers are great and I could not ask for a better team to work with or to be a part of. When I started, we had a great culture and really embraced the growing start up vibe. On a team level we are there to help each other every step of the way.

Cons

Our comp plan was recently changed to the point where many of us cannot afford to live. We are completely underpaid and under appreciated. Pay us less and expect us to do more? Not really a good way to run a business. I would not recommend joining the company at this time. They are so focused on becoming public that they have lost their full sense of what Glassdoor is about. We preach transparency but recently we have all been in the dark. Suddenly there is something announced that is a major change. Management says they had no idea, but how can you run a business keeping your managers and directors our of the loop? Sounds a bit fishy.

I’m glad you took the time to write and I’m sorry to read that things aren’t going as expected. As we examine our comp & quotas to make sure we’re getting this right, what keeps me motivated are the smart, hardworking people we have who are willing to go the extra mile to get us to the next level. We are putting a major focus on getting comp right. Your ongoing feedback will help us to refine.

I appreciate that you took the time to share your feedback. There’s an endless amount of interesting and challenging work to be done from a data science perspective.
