Pros

Flexibility in where you work. Casual work environment. Passionate people trying to turn things around.

Cons

I was warned about the "old regime" and how frustrating they would be to work with. They were probably the best part of working at SV! Unfortunately, the "new regime" is having problems figuring out their direction. I was hired after a frank and honest conversation about my skills. After 4 months, the direction of my group changed and I was told I needed to have certain skills (ones previously communicated that I did not have) immediately! I volunteered to learn the skills, but was told they could not wait. I was given 6 weeks to resign or I would be put on a Performance Plan (aka Fired). This was not a unique situation to me. It is happening to others. The worst part is that management or HR never talked to me about the situation.
