Pros

-HQ is a very nice office, and right next to the Redwood City Caltrain Station -Lunch is served daily and there are snacks -Management is for the most part transparent about what is going on day-to-day -Unlimited PTO

Cons

-Incredibly political -Managers who either micro-manager, or are no where to be found for support -Poor performing employees are not let go -Company is going downhill. People are leaving left and right. Stock price is only going down. Perks, like dinner, are being taken away -Not very competitive pay -No 401(k) match, and while it remains the most requested company perk, management continues to sugarcoat the fact that it won't be happening anytime soon
