Vantaggi

Recently raised a big round of funding Support of content providers (big magazine publishers) Last big medium to go the way of the proven all-you-can-eat pricing model Rarely work long hours

Svantaggi

Bad location: terrible traffic on the 101, far from Caltrain, no nearby restaurants Bad management: Pushes to deliver too much too fast so teams are stressed and demoralized. Reluctant to deal with attitude problems. Yelling at teams for not delivering even when it's clear they worked hard and did their best. A few bad seeds: People you cannot rely on to do their job and do it well. Siloed departments: Little collaboration, support, team work Slipping product quality: Growing technical debt. Hundreds of bugs that aren't being fixed. No strong support for working from home

Vantaggi

- Most employees (over 95%, I think) are approachable, easy to work with, and don't get egotistical about their work - Work/life balance - Ability for most employees to work remotely - Mostly positive attitudes - Agile workplace not only in tech development, but also in HR. Hence, there has been improvements in many areas - Improvement in workload and development deadlines for those who a previous reviewer talked about when deadlines are too close - Lunch twice a week served courtesy of the company - Very good benefits. I never worry about the cost of healthcare

Svantaggi

There have been questionable choices of hiring that makes me wonder how much longer it will take the company to turn a profit. Some people are not paid what they are worth, which I think is why they leave. That's too bad, since the product is worth spending more on the salaries of those who can make it even better. The company is lacking technical oversight. There are too many differences in how different teams approach the product. In spite of the ability to work remotely, a lot of employees are not good with IM or keeping communication open and letting the rest of team know what's going on, so a lot of time gets wasted from work-doubling and resulting inefficiency from not getting "the memo." Morgan left. He was a spirit-lifter and pushed to get us decent bonuses.
