Pros

Benefits are great Product is good A lot of the people that work there are great

Cons

It's all about who you know and who you are friends with at this company. Very cult-like and hypocritical -- they talk about culture and values but it is more of a show because the executives and managers do not model the behavior in reality, only in public for show. Lots of egos and they don't really care about the work you do.

Pros

All the regular perks of a tech company - unlimited paid vacation, in addition to 1 week paid time off over Christmas, as well as July 4th. Free food, snacks, drinks. Casual atmosphere - you can wear pretty much anything you want. Full of tattoos and piercings? They embrace that.

Cons

Never get too comfortable with anyone in a leadership position. You can think that you are best friends, and that they really like and respect you; then turn on you on a dime.

Not What They Make It Seem

Pros

Great team members. A very young and lively workforce that are a lot of fun to work with. The office location in San Francisco is terrific as well, right in the middle of downtown and has the hustle and bustle of downtown SF. Great location right by the Montgomery Bart Station as well. The office is very nice as well.

Cons

Employees are not promoted based on performance, but rather based on how well they are able to brown nose and become managers favorites. I have consistently performed and reached around 130% or more of my quarterly goals, and yet my manager has consistently given me negative feedback and held me down from a promotion (NO ONE is able to be promoted unless their manager gives their approval). The company does a very good job making sure the first couple months employees are shown what an amazing company they are working for, but the moral and happiness of employees who have been here for 9 months or longer is INCREDIBLY low and the turnover rate is high (management does a great job keeping this out of the media's attention). The career trajectory is very poor for certain business lines as well.
