Vantaggi
Great work life balance, really fun and relaxed people to work with, constantly challenging and innovating. Depending on experience, salaries seems to be OK. Benefits are pretty decent (though starting to look a bit stale compared to what other Bay Area companies are offering). Most people generally like working with each other which makes it a pleasure to come in everyday. Recognition - most people have heard about our products and love it. Looks good on resume. No jerk policy - as far as I've seen, never has anybody been overly disrespectful, rude, or tyrannical to anybody. People are treated kindly and overall managers communicate very well with their subordinates. Q4 - as tough as it is, it's kind of thrilling and bonding as you're spending so much time with your co-workers (becomes like family) and knowing every day there's so much at stake makes you give it your all.
Svantaggi
Unfortunately the culture that made this place so great seems to be fading. There is more of a work work work mentality being pushed on everybody, and it's getting more competitive and cutthroat. People are starting to feel very spread thin. Managers getting more political which is sad. Main cons are - for a company so into moms and families, our maternity leave benefits are quite lacking. Also,executive management is a boys club and lacks diversity. It's strange how out of touch old white men in suits are with the rest of the company. Both of the Bay Area office locations are not really ideal, prepare for a tough commute no matter where you live. Lastly, there is a lot of bureaucracy here when it comes to promotions. Not sure why they make it so difficult.
