      Good for Mid Career - Senior Folks will be frustrated

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      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 work environment

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Casual work environment, intelligent and motivated colleagues, managers who genuinely listen to team feedback, excellent health and wellness benefits, food galore

      Cons

      Difficult to transfer between departments despite having an internal recruiter dedicated to promoting internal mobility. Other than that, not too many I can think of!
