Pros
- scribd is a decent first or second job in tech, lots of responsibility right off the bat - lots smart/talented/friendly coworkers. employees go out for coffee every day, there are also lectures, board game nights, and a book club. - great work/life balance. except for pushes around launches (which is normal), you won't be on call 24/7. leadership is generally supportive of side projects -the office is decently close to caltrain/bart - free food and regular happy hours
Cons
-Few opportunities to grow out of the role you were hired for, unless you're favored by leadership. Turnover in rest of the company is high, especially among top talent but leadership does not seem to be concerned. - Useless founders. Both let themselves get pushed around by VPs and seem to have no interest in running a company. -No product vision. The CEO only cares about PR. There's lots of infighting between teams. - morale is bad. People feel that major decisions are arbitrary and leadership does not allow criticism. When people leave they're discouraged from telling anyone which make morale worse - No matching contributions even after raising $22 million in latest funding round--that tells you how much employees are valued -equity dilution could be a problem after 7+ years w/ no IPO likely
