Vantaggi
The company occupies very nice offices. Another 'Pro" is that I met some excellent coworkers in my time there, but the great people were there despite the CEO, not because of him.
Svantaggi
Everything you can think of, times 1,000. Check LinkedIn - the numbers don't lie - how many San Mateo employees have been there over a year?. Fixya turnover was 100% per year during my brief and miserable time there, and it appears it has not approved. Many are fired, many quit, and at least one person breaks down in tears every week. The CEO denies this is a problem. Strategy changes at least twice a year. Extremely hard to recruit because of company's reputation. People are not valued. Everyone is under suspicion. Extremely hierarchical for a Silicon Valley company. Fixya is the exact opposite of the culture (open, open minded, democratic, positive, agile, egalitarian, visionary, focused, enthusiastic, intelligent, self-aware) that has made Silicon Valley so wildly successful. Since leaving there, I apply a simple formula to every question: 'What would FixYa or FixYa's leader do in this situation?' - then I do the exact opposite. Really the most negative, stifling, depressing place I've ever had the misfortune to experience.
