Pros

I worked with a great team, we did a lot of outings together and I never felt afraid to say my opinion to the people around me. There's free Friday lunch and beer/wine Thursdays and a lot of snacks.

Cons

If you're not smart about the snacks, you'll probably gain weight. I don't think there's a lot of transparency about what stuff are ABOUT to happen, like layoffs, that made things feel very shaky towards the end.

Pros

The kitchen perks are well-noted in other reviews, and they work. A lot of neg reviews over the past year are based on a rough period of change. It feels like a lot of that roughness is fading and the company direction is feeling firmer. The vibe internally is more calm and upbeat than one might assume from the more neg reviews Pay is on par for the area, better than farther inland in my experience. And the tech campus vibe of the area doesn't hurt.

Cons

There's still a bit of a mishmash of eras and groups, since there was a lot of turnaround in the past couple of years. That will smooth itself out over time, but know that the energy in different parts of the building is different. Some folks blow off the company events because once things overflow out into the halls, it's pointless to try and see or hear anything - need more or better space for those.

Pros

Great people to work with. Friendly atmosphere and amazing office culture. Location is nice.

Cons

Management lacks vision and is too incompetent to sustain growth. Too many changing in the leadership, all the co-founders except 1 left. Seems like New CEO Sean is looking to putting most properties up for sale. All the content properties are decline in revenue and traffic.
