A Stable Company with a Startup Feel

Engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Freedom to do great work, startup-like environment at a stable public company, competitive pay, good equity, and unlimited/flexible PTO. Located in San Francisco proper too!

Cons

The transparency and perks have been gradually decreasing as the company has grown larger. The location in Mid-Market is not as good as if it were in the Financial District or SOMA.

Very happy

Engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Work with great (the best) people - Fantastic work/life balance with unlimited vacation and flexible work hours - People get to work on meaningful things, and the company makes a visible impact on the world - As much transparency as is legally possible. Employees get to see almost everything, including board presentations

Cons

- Transparency has suffered a little since the IPO, but that is expected - There is no 401k matching yet - Individual teams are still very agile, but it's starting to feel like a big company in some ways
