Vantaggi
- Beautiful, well-stocked office - Smart, kind and ambitious co-workers - Sophisticated product, solid TAM - Solid growth potential, if you position yourself well - Comp is respectable - Product decisions are well-considered and directionally I have a lot of faith in the business; they don't kowtow to customer demands and have a vision beyond immediate growth goals - They are not afraid to spend money, with the exception of headcount
Svantaggi
- Lack of work life balance - Benefits aren't on par with market standards in SF - Office-first culture - Leadership's *leadership* fluctuates; one is somewhat checked-out of the day-to-day, while the other micro-manages. - They are still working to find their footing with culture; they almost seem hesitant to allow employees to have too much fun left they forget this is a job - Like many start ups, engineers are coddled This is not a company that pretends to honor work life balance. Employees are often applauded publicly for being online at odd hours, not taking vacations, etc. Your long-term success very much hinges on making yourself visible to executive leadership. They do not make consistent HR decisions across the board, and exceptions will be made for favorites. It must be said that the product is extremely buggy -- there are almost daily fire drills. Investment has been made into infrastructure and reliability but I'm not convinced it can keep pace with the rate of development. They do not place a premium on hiring ahead of growth goals. They will allow people to burn out before addressing headcount and chalk it up to the cost of doing business. They do not do a great job of communicating departures. I don't think this is a Bad place but they may need to reconsider some of their operational principles over the next year if they want to attract and retain top talent.
