      Great products, but highly political environment with little transparency

      Pros

      Great Product with lots of growth potential. Cool SOMA office space for easy commute w/public transportation, free lunches

      Cons

      Highly political environment, little promotion opportunity unless you're boss quits or you're a favorite. Lots of lay-offs since they went private in December '12 and there was little information and transparency prior.
