Pros

- Great work/life balance. - Fun people - Career growth opportunities - Free snacks and swag

Cons

- Lots of gossip - Can feel like you're in a frat that you didn't sign up for. There are way too many friends of friends getting hired without the necessary experience. This contributes to cliques and makes newer people feel outed. - Constant push to go on Glassdoor and pressure from coworkers to buy into AMAZING atmosphere makes it feel like propaganda - Growing pains: no policies for certain things I won't go into detail about which affected my ability to be successful. - Some turnover becoming more common as I left. - Some people like working in high wall cubicles. It's hard to work in an environment that makes you feel like you're in a can of sardines - especially when doing calls out. Collaboration is great, but so is privacy and the ability to concentrate with people talking 24/7. - Company needs to be more diverse and show commitment to it. Haven't seen a commitment to that, just hiring of more friends who are from similar backgrounds as their friends. - 401K is kind of a joke considering how much revenue this company has - Product not as good as they say. - Salary below market averages for some positions.

Thank you for your feedback. As we look to continuously improve on the overall employee experience, we will take this into account. We do pride ourselves on quality employee referrals. Assuming you were working the San Francisco office, we have now expanded due to the hyper growth and employees have plenty of space now to spread out.
