Vantaggi
Worked at SD for a while and ended up leaving for a better offer due to lacking compensation + Free breakfast + Young and friendly co-workers + Nice (Soho) office + Innovative environment + Fun culture (expect to take a lot of shots) + Upper management will fund continuing education if you bring forward potential classes or events + Reasonable hours + Exposure to start-up culture and Saas products + Hard work and results are acknowledged by SVP & Accounts + If you prove yourself you will be given a shot to have more autonomy and (solely) a title increase
Svantaggi
+ Upper management is not transparent whatsoever about large company decisions + Questionable spending of company funds (Kegorator?) rather than bonuses + At times, it can feel like your intentionally being bribed with booze to cover up the reality of lacking compensation and benefits + No equity for non-dev/engineering + No HR or vacation policy + High turnover + Antiquated understanding of company loyalty
