Pros
Sequoia Equities is an amazing company to work for. I have been with them for a few years now and admit I have learned more working with this company than any of the previous management companies I have worked for. I love that Sequoia is very giving to their employees with the Summers of Love and Sequoia Strong and giving gifts to the employees. Internal Growth is something they take great pride in but sometimes it's hard to get promoted. Sequoia is very family oriented. Sequoia is great at giving back to the community, through donations to schools and working with some local organizations.
Cons
I have seen some aspects of favoritism within the company. I believe that those who work in the Bay Area need to be paid more since the cost of living in the Bay Area is extremely outrageous. I think that cost of benefits (health care only) is high, but it does make sense based on the great coverage we have. Prizes at the holiday party are great but it sucks that they are so limited - it would be great it there were better chances for more employees to win by increasing the number of prizes - by doing so maybe lower the value of some of the large prizes. Living on-site with the 20% employee discount in the Bay Area is hard. Lack of Regional Team Building and get to know. I work in the bay area and only know a handful of people. Sequoia was fantastic in connecting with the American Cancer Society, but in the past years it seems that the community outreach and Sequoia Team Purpose has died off.
