Pros

It was a great place to work; tons of very smart and committed people who are willing to help the people around them, and nearly none of the common problems around lack of humility. Couldn't have asked for a better first place to work.

Cons

They struggled with diversity. I do believe that management values diversity highly, but I think things just were too unbalanced too early to make a full recovery.

Pros

It was exciting to see the company grow so fast so quickly. Health insurance completely was covered. Free delicious snacks. Most people I worked with were very smart and friendly. I got to explore another team, and it was so easy to make a switch. I am glad I made this move, because I enjoyed the work more, and was a turning point in my fledgling career. It led me to pursue the job I have today. Holiday parties were awesome.

Cons

There's a lot of favoritism towards engineers. Even though I was not an engineer, I felt like for the potential I had, no one cared about my personal and professional growth. My manager seemed nice and supportive at first, but was inapproachable over all. After I let them know about some positive events in my personal life, they made some snarky remarks. As a person relatively new to the workforce, I could not speak out. If you're not Indian and you don't speak Hindi, you might not fit in. It's incredibly alienating to hear work related discussions in a language that is not common to everyone around you. I had a barely livable salary, especially for living in the Bay Area, and they wouldn't budge in negotiation at all. There were absolutely no raises during the time I was there. They say world-class and selfless excellence, but that mostly meant giving out gold stickers to people who skipped out early on family vacations to show they're valuable. Give me a break.

Pros

Pay is surprisingly generous given that it's a startup. Good leadership.

Cons

Lunch occasionally is quite bad, usually when our White catering food service tries to make Indian food.
