Vantaggi

There are some really kind and talented people there. Everyone comes at work with the mentality of "Well, this sucks, but we should all work together to fix it." That aspect of the job is really nice.

Svantaggi

Literally everything else. Management just says yes to everything, engineering has no power to push back on product requests, and everyone just screams at the engineers until we get it done. Engineering in general is not included in roadmaps or planning, but they are expected to meet all these deadlines that they had no part in setting. There's no communication in the product org with with engineering, so you might find your time committed to seven different groups who all thought they'd have you full time. Deadlines can't be moved, so you just slowly go insane trying to meet all the expectations. They say they do agile. They do not. They do waterfall with a jira board. You will often be given a set of requirements for something you've never heard of before and told to get it done in a month. The level of tech debt borders on the absurd. But we never have time to fix any of it, because we're constantly being bombarded with new requests that are all emergencies. In a meeting with a director, I was asked what I needed to help me get things done. I said that I really needed a manager who could set priorities for me and field requests. The response? "Well, I can't give you that." I feel like that tells you pretty much everything you need to know. Worst job I've ever had. Run far, far away.

Vantaggi

1.) The San Mateo, CA office is top-notch. Great location, with easy walking distance to tons of restaurants for lunch and post-work happy hours. 2.) Great group of people. Everyone working here seems 100% committed to producing a great product, and coworkers are always challenging you to be your best. 3.) Great work/life balance. Generally speaking, there aren't a ton of late nights or early bird meetings. Management understands we all have lives, because they do too! With such a shallow company, everyone from the CEO on down is on a first-name basis with one another.

Svantaggi

1.) Although the office space is great, the building is a tad dated. The elevators are extremely slow, and it seems like there are always repairs happening on the dishwasher/AC/elevators/etc. Not necessarily a "ShopRunner" problem, but it definitely makes a difference in the day-to-day. 2.) No real feeling of company culture. It feels as though this is getting better, with increased company-wide meetings and more frequent happy hours but there is still a long way to go. A common mission statement would be nice. 3.) There is no sick-day policy, just a combined PTO policy. We have a very open-air office, and when someone comes in sick because they have a vacation coming up and can't afford to take a day to stay home, that affects the whole office.
