Good for Mid Career - Senior Folks will be frustrated

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

+ Great Mission + Well meaning people + Lots of freedom +Competitive pay + No annual or semi-annual churn of merit bonus (see also cons on this)

Cons

+ Growing pains + Not family friendly benefits or hours + Lots of room to grow - if you are at mid-career or lower. More senior folks will struggle with upward movement + Lousy commuter benefits + Hard if you don't live in San Fran + HR is unclear about how to get promoted + Lack of merit bonus keeps people less motivated on ownership - people spend a crazy amount of energy trying to *not* be the decision maker

Pros

- Great company culture - strong engineering team with great practices - a well defined interview process - a well defined career ladder progression and process

Cons

- because of the way we're structured, some product initiatives between teams can be hindered - there are definitely individuals who play politics and will put one's own needs ahead of the company's those individuals get identified over time but definitely hurts in the short run - the company can be a little cheap financially (not as many perks as other tech companies) - not the most competitive compensation packages and definitely not enough refreshers

Great place to work

Pros

Excellent benefits, supervisors that actually care, good pay and excellent work environment

Cons

Can get a little too...fraternity from time to time. While being good at your job is very important, sometimes it's more about who you drink with.
