Vantaggi

The compensation is better than average. The hourly demands were reasonable. The average start and finish times of the work day were reasonable.

Svantaggi

Very unhealthy corporate culture. In the engineering team, the developers were generally not treated with respect, with management often overriding their technical judgement with their own. Additionally, the Engineering department had a very big problem with nepotism and and insider/outsider group dynamics. On more than one occasion, developers or tester engineers were pressured to revise their interview feedback to support candidates that the upper engineering management brought in.

Vantaggi

It's a job, and it pays ok. Benefits are in line with most other jobs of this type. Large office, happy hour Fridays (once a month) and bagel Wednesdays (every week). Main SF office is 3 blocks from BART, close to a lot of places to eat and shop, etc, here in SoMA.

Svantaggi

Management is in turmoil. The board recently replaced the CEO, and all but one of the other C-level executives left the company, most for the competition. Job satisfaction is low. You're micromanaged. "Here is a spoon full of work, tell me when you're done so I can critique it, give you the thumbs up or down, and give you the next tiny spoon full." Want to work with people who are smarter then you, and who can challenge you to think of things in new innovative ways? If you are, this isn't the place for you. You will not only be told what to do, but be told how to do it and how long it should take you. There are 2 offices, one in SF and one in the south bay. The majority of the engineers set up in the south bay so they can avoid everyone else in the company and work in their bubble. It's why our products quality is severely lacking and why the entire QA team left the company.
