Pros

Great PAY, and time off. Location and parking

Cons

Performance reviews are rather superficial! Your reviews to managers are ignored! Need to keep it professional with directors and managers. Poor management leadership! Laid off great workers and kept the "friends" of managers on board. UNFAIR

Business Outlook

Pros

-great pay definitely above industry standards despite experience level -tons of benefits, which I miss -products WAS interesting (notice past tense), air and flex had a lot of potential but seems like management didn't feel the same way -work was fairly interesting -good availability of technology

Cons

-very clique-y, if you haven't been at the company long enough be ready to feel like an outsider -SF office definitely had that hipster feel (which is a bad thing), UI/UX had that too cool for school attitude -management has no faith in the product -promotions and recognition given to those who can kiss up the most -in the most recent layoff, it was very funny to see the lazy good-for-nothings stayed on while the technically talented folks got laid off -"best places to work" is certainly an overhyped title, although pay and benefits were great, culture isn't quite there
