Pros

Yearly bonus. Option to live north of San Francisco and close to work (but not generally recommended for young single professionals).

Cons

As others have stated, there is a very cliquish element. There is absolutely no onboarding, and there is mass dysfunction between different departments. There is quite a bit of favoritism at play - too many employees exist that don't contribute very much, while some very talented individuals are demoralized because of lack of job growth, and very little recognition from top leadership. Senior leadership functions like they are too busy to get back to employees. Some completely ignore simple email requests. Because of the location, this place has a very hard time attracting and keeping talent - unless the employees are tied to Marin, it's pretty much impossible to keep good talent given the deficiencies that exist in this company.

Pros

Congratulations on joining an IT department sustained primarily by optimism and certificates whose expiration dates invite reflection. Tickets enter a triage process best described as ceremonial — acknowledged warmly, processed philosophically, resolved at the discretion of the universe. Infrastructure decisions suggest a confident autodidactic energy that formal training might have tempered. Your recommendations will be received, appreciated verbally, and composted with dignity. The company charges a premium for its products and charges again for the remainder of them, which is either visionary pricing strategy or a personality trait depending on your tolerance. The gaming chairs are ambitious. The retention numbers are instructive

Cons

• Your labor props up a machine that monetizes joy incrementally until joy is gone • Every unresolved ticket is a monument to institutional indifference • Heidegger called it thrownness — you were thrown here specifically • The infrastructure will outlive your dignity but not your burnout • Mark Fisher already described this place in Capitalist Realism and did not recommend it • You will achieve nothing that compounds • The servers go down. You stay down longer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
