Pros

-Unlimited PTO -Free food, snacks -20% discount on lyft rides

Cons

-Bad management all around, even the teams we hire for don't know how to lead -"Mean Girls" culture from legacy management- if you're not in, you're out -Managers lie about promotion cycles- when they are, when you can promote, etc. -Conflict of interests all around (managers dating directors they hire for) -They tell you what you want to hear, but don't actually care about you as a person -A lot of gossip, backstabbing, negativity -Management is never around, they silently delete 1:1 meetings -They promote people they like even if their performance is low -Many of the managers haven't worked anywhere with real processes in place so they don't have experience implementing structure

Pros

Good Pay and opportunity to work in an industry building for the future. Fast paced. Smart coworkers. Good ideas are valued.

Cons

Dealing with a lot of growing pains and don't have good centralized decision making or communication amongst teams. Lots of folks who were leading a small start up environment aren't necessarily suited to run large organization with lots of reports and moving pieces. Wouldn't recommend working remotely - especially if your primary stakeholders, partners, and decision makers are in SF. It's a communication challenge that I think is too hard to bridge unless you're really willing to put in much more time and attentiveness.
