Pros

Employees seem to genuinely like working there. The company is well-established and runs smoothly. All managers I interacted with were extremely smart and approachable. Work hours are flexible as long as you get in your 8 hours each day.

Cons

Working from home a day or two a week on a regular basis wasn't an option while I was there. This may have changed though.

Pros

You can move up the ladder very quickly if you're motivated. Most of the employees I've met or worked with are friendly, likeable people. Plenty of paid days off.

Cons

Compensation unfit considering the high cost of living in the SF Bay Area. Extremely shareholder-orientated company with the ultimate goal of lowering the quality of life for residents while increasing their cost of living.
