Pros

I am working now since many years for different start-ups in Silicon Valley. This is the best place I worked for. It is a culture of listening to people, help each other without any politics, management that helps you achieving your goals (business or personal).

Cons

Not really a "kontra": It´s all about the speed in Start Up. You have to like it. If you like it, you will be more than happy to work here.

Pros

Fully transparent, smart and humble leadership. Growing at a fast pace - but making the right decisions for the long-term. An exciting place to work. Super smart people.

Cons

We're defining a product - streaming platforms - and the market in some cases still doesn't get it.

Pros

Leadership is focused, determined, communicative, transparent. You know what the company mission and priorities are, and the teams are well-aligned to make it all happen. The company is clearly determined to be first choice, best in class in the space, and we have the assets to make it happen. I enjoy working with the smartest and best in the biz, with a game-changing, revolutionary technology -- it is both scary and wonderful to regularly feel like the dumbest one in the room! :P No joke. Great location right by PA Caltrain. Nice perks without being wasteful: solid healthcare options, Caltrain pass, tons of healthy snacks, dog friendly, catered lunches, nice facilities. People are friendly and everyone, including leadership, is accessible and all-ears to feedback. Team rallies behind wins and celebrates others' successes. There's an open and supportive culture around career growth and pivoting (to other teams and roles).

Cons

No 401K matching yet (though not unusual for start ups), parking permits in PA are hard to come by (expect a 3 - 4 month wait or more). Marketing team constantly in flux and without proper leadership.
