      Pros

      Most of my team was awesome, the cafeteria was great and the job was a good resume builder.

      Cons

      Middle management degraded over the years to be either totally disconnected or obsessive micromanagers. Some serious problems arose and many people went to HR but that didn't help. Some people were offered severance to quit. A lot of people simply left due to one terrible director and spineless managers.

      Pros

      New leadership team is finally getting us organized and aligned to operate at full speed.

      Cons

      Growing space pains. SF office space and conference rooms are limited, but this may be due to the current construction and build out of additional floors.
