      Cons

      They have a small technical group. The only problem when i was working was it does not have a QA team.

      Fun place to work

      Pros

      A fun place to work with great perks. Free breakfast and lunch every day, with a focus on healthy and varied options. Free gym. Free Caltrain pass and shuttle. As a software engineer, the freedom to try new ideas is HUGE.

      Cons

      While the freedom to try new ideas is huge, the time to do so is very limited. More than half of your time is spent in support mode, so the tendency of whole development teams to succumb to trudging from one support ticket to the next instead of innovating is pretty prevalent.

      Pros

      Everyone worked really hard over very long hours and kept a level head about what they were doing. Company celebrated successes, moreso in So Cal put to be expected given that was the corporate office.

      Cons

      Management was a little chaotic at times but the focus was what ended up on the screen. Budgets and horse trading of talent was tough. People are on employment contracts for the most part which has it's pros and cons.
