Pros

- Superb direction from upper management - Company culture is the best I've experienced thus far in my career - Top-tier salary and compensation packages - Ability for quick career advancement; management believes in promoting within as much as possible - Ground-breaking technology that will fundamentally change how workforces are managed and data is collected - Headquarters walking distance from BART, CalTran, MUNI, and Ferry

Cons

- This is only a con if you are allergic or dislike dogs, but office is pet friendly and there is usually one or two dogs in the office

Pros

Similar to how Uber is disrupting the transportation industry and Airbnb the hotel industry, Gigwalk is transforming how people find and execute work thru mobile technology. Gigwalk is at the forefront of this movement. McKinsey just did a study that showed over 30% of the labor force is now working in the Gig economy. Gigwalk has built an organic workforce of over 1 million Gigwalkers and is growing exponentially. Additionally, the platform has continued to evolve and become more advanced, meeting the needs of clients. Gigwalk gave me an amazing opportunity to branch outside of a traditional sales role and handle many cross departmental responsibilities. It was a pleasure working alongside the CEO, CTO, and VP of Engineering. I left Gigwalk with a wealth of new tools and learnings.

Cons

When you read the cons, one needs to take into consideration that this is a startup, its an organization that consumes VC cash and is trying to become a sustainable business. If you understand this upfront then there should be no surprises when there are pivots, roadblocks, etc. The company is extremely agile and releases new updates every 2 weeks. Because of that flexibility different hypothesis and strategies will be tested. Based on your needs, a startup can be a pro or con.
