Pros

Cool perks like a good office location, fun employees, free lunches and nice gym equipment and lockers

Cons

They mistakes perks for culture. There's no real career path or progression and it's become much too political. The people who shout the loudest get all the praise. I also feel like we're losing focus.

Pros

The team leader I had before I left was supportive and very helpful. The my peers were friendly.

Cons

Start up feel, you have a quota that doesn't stop growing. Very micro managing!!! Stressful work environment. High turn over. Low salary compared to the city. Some sales managers have favorites and didn't let you forget it!

Thanks for your feedback and review. 2012 was definitely a growth year in terms of getting the right sales leadership in place, and figuring out our hiring profile. Your feedback is fair. I'm sorry it wasn't a good experience. The good news is that by 2013 and now into 2014, we really have it nailed, and turnover is very low. Thanks again for the review - robert

Pros

Senior leadership has a lot on their plate, but the learning and leadership opportunities are there for anyone willing to put in the extra effort! Great options for daily free lunch if you are lucky enough to work in Mill Valley. Nearly all of the employees here feel passionate about working in an environment of empowerment, collaboration, focus, fun, and friendship.

Cons

I've been working 10-12 hour days just to keep up. Executive leadership is a little cliquey and their style of communication can be condescending, even if the workforce is marginally younger. Problems tend to be ignored even when employees are calling them out. Senior management tend to have the only say.

Glassdoor Response
