Pros

Because there is no sense of urgency or vision, LC is a pretty low pressure place to work, thus it is a good place for people who want to coast, say if your priority is your kids or family. Benefits are pretty good, too, and the office is right next to BART.

Cons

In the tech org. decisions are made arbitrarily based on some out-of-touch VP's preferences. They are not based on logic, data, or vision. Also, this is an operations driven company. Operations tells engineering how to implement products and what technologies to use. This can be soul crushing for high achievers and visionaries, and has contributed to lack of progress and massive brain drain.

Pros

It is close to BART and not much else but there is a 20 words min

Cons

This place is a sinking ship. Shady practices everywhere. HR is a complete joke, managers choose their under-qualified buddies over employees who really deserve new opportunities. Operations employees are slaving away while executives figure out a way to save themselves. Salaries are laughable, not sure how they think they can compete with other companies is the bay area.

Too political

Pros

CEO Renalud is an amazing entrepreneur.

Cons

Company has become too political for such a small engineering team. No clear sense of direction right now. Focusing too much on UI for a 5 page app. Doesn't care about employees career. Believe in hiring from outside especially if you are or were previously in salesforce. Company should focus on adding new products and make use of their leadership in this space. Instead they are focussing on scalability which they dont really need right now and for quite some foreseeable time. Even if we assume they need scalability, then they should keep their products separate. Thats horizontal scalability right there.
