Pros

Great people, great location in the city, insurance fully paid for, 15 pto and 5 personal days. Lunch on fridays

Cons

Everything else. No motivation to get up and go to work because the morale of the company is just terrible. No company structure, micromanagement to the core. No training at all, they just throw you in and expect you to produce within the first 2 weeks. Extremely low pay for working in SF. No real benefits other than insurance. They only look out for what’s best for the company and how it’s doing. Not much is shown to show appreciation for its employees.
