Vantaggi

The employees are largely great.

Svantaggi

I was let go without any reason. I had been working very hard for many months and had great rapport with the team. However one day I was terminated simply without reason. During the exit interview, both the manager and the HR declined to provide reason for termination. It was also interesting that the termination came just before my stock grants vested. In all I would say that management is pretty shady - they rely on hiring new grads to do the work and the turn-over is much higher than I anticipated: several people quit during my time there (and it's not a large company). Management is very bad at communicating, starting from the elusive CEO himself. While the company enjoys a healthy customer base, it is old (>10 years) and by no means a startup. It is also by no means a growth company. If you have terrific rapport with your direct manager, this company is worth considering. In my honest opinion, however, there are much better choices in the Bay Area.

Vantaggi

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Svantaggi

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
