Pros

The snack drawer has a nice selection of junk snacks and healthy stuff. Free lunches most days of the week. The people are nice too. Very young company in SF, so all the coworkers are young typical sf people. Vegetable eating, bike riding, and kale smoothies all the way.

Cons

If you work here, it kind of becomes your life. You work together 10 plus hours, you eat together, drink together..., do everything together. No room for your outside homies. It's great if you don't have a life before becoming employed, but horrible if you do. And your salary, it sucks. be prepared to be underpaid and overworked with 10 plus hours of your day dedicated to fs.

Pros

Independent work environment, innovative company, young/hip office culture

Cons

low compensation, weak organizational structure, lack of advancement opportunities (started in a sales position that was supposed to be temporary -- but never changed), told to cancel my Christmas flight home to work additional hours, reprimanded for being away from work on Memorial Day. There was also an expectation of pitching features that were not even available yet with the software. Had to use my personal laptop as my primary means for working.
