Business Outlook

Pros

Great office, amazing breakfast and lunch, young/lively coworkers, work life balance

Cons

Extremely low pay for silicon valley standards. The sentiment seemed the same across all teams, not just sales. This causes very high attrition among good employees. Good ones leave, bad ones stay

Pros

* People are generally nice and experienced * Great benefits and stocks * Generally easy going performance review cycles * Upper management seem to want to listen, but don't do much or have the power to change things * Career development is good but depends on the team

Cons

* All the good folks who actually want to innovate/build have either joined Cash or left the company. Everyone else is complacent * Little sense of ownership and too much bureaucracy making it hard to make an impact * Quality of Project/product management org is poor
