Pros

People are really nice, lots of great perks, love the product

Cons

Not any big ones- small office so you don’t get access to some social aspects of being at a big company, and you have to find street parking- otherwise it’s great

Great coworkers are such an important part of a positive work experience, I'm happy to hear that you're surrounded by great ones. Parking can definitely be hard in SOMA but don't forget to enter in to the quarterly parking lottery or utilize some of our other alternative transportation benefits! Jo, CHRO
