CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Cheap city, relatively safe neighbourhood, no traffic jam

Cons

Zero Growth, your coworker would be way less smart and less productive than those you will find in Bay Area, you will learn things slower since their code quality and project management are even worse than most of mainstream open source projects. Low paid, you can find a company that pays you six figures in Orange County or double your current salary if you move to bay area, I know they are expensive but paying half of what others would offer is definitly underpay

No chance of going higher. It's a flat organization as they said.

Pros

The bonus is not bad, at first. Then it drops every year.

Cons

You need to wait really long for the bonus. Messy environment. You'll get ask to do everything even if it's not your expertise.
