Pros

culture is the best, great perks: health benefits (100% covered), unlimited PTO, gym, coffee shop, location (located off Bart), Happy Hour Tuesday through Thursday (bar in the building), a juice bar, ice-cream bar, PEOPLE and on top of that management is great. In the interview process you meet EVERYONE from the team and multiple teams, so you know what you are getting yourself into. A lot of team building events - off campus.

Cons

compensation is comparable to SF Bay Area - wish we were the highest, but at least we are in competition with the highest companies, only located in SF

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
