Pros

Nice office location. Artwork all over the walls makes it a living art museum in a way. One of the larger employers in the bay area.

Cons

This is tough to say, but the company is simply not what it used to be. In the last year or two many new senior managers have been brought in to affect change. Change may have been necessary to take the company to the next level, but it has come at a very high price of lost talent. Attrition is very high, and management seems to be ok with that. People have been quietly walked out the door, titles and reporting structures changed without any announcements, etc. The water cooler conversations have gone from how we can make a better organization to who just turned in their 2 weeks notice and who's next. Recruiters are crawling all over existing employees trying to drag them to other firms. Senior management may so it back and say that this is all part of the plan or all necessary in order to change the firm. However, they're really hurting morale and don't realize that what they are losing will only cause more problems. This firm was profitable and successful before the new regime arrived. Time will tell of it still will be when they're done.

Pros

Small firm feel and easy to stand out as a high performer.

Cons

The firm is very old school in promotions and growth so they value tenure over performance.
