Best company I’ve ever worked at and I’ve been employed at other top fortune 100 companies in the valley.

Pros

Excellent bonus plan! Work/ life flexibility, highly inspirational environment that motivates you to be your best. Company pays your select charities for hours spent volunteering outside of work. Highly collaborative and positive culture.

Cons

Benefits should be more competitive. Even though parental leave is enhancing in 2018, it still is not competitive enough to attract top notch millennial talent from companies like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google that offer 100% paid parental leave for at least 4 months. Need better cafeteria option in HQ. The food is not that great for the price.

Pros

Work from home as needed. Really great perk for families. Fun Events throughout the quarter.

Cons

- Because the department isn't taken seriously the position is for more a college grad. - No true voice within the company. -Like most companies this company is sales driven. The client services department simply exists within the company versus having an actual voice.

Working from home is indeed a great perk. We do our best to pay at fair market value and we are constantly reevaluating roles and salaries. Sorry to hear you didn't feel your group has a voice. As you may know, one of our core values is "Speak up. Step up." We hope you'll take this to heart and let your manager know your concerns.
