Pros

We are located in the heart of the peninsula of San Mateo, nearby the freeway and public transportation. The company it self is located in one newest commercial building so it has the open space working environment. They have unlimited snacks and drinks. There is daily lunches if you are working onsite. The perks are the health, dental, and 401k benefits. The opportunity of working at fintech corporate looks good on the resume.

Cons

No growth within the company even with the internal posting the requirement is very limited to apply. The job tasks is varies and has been transition numerous since I've been with the company. The hourly rate is the same amount as if you working at local fast food. The work environment is very toxic with micromanagement style. We are on set schedule, required to be onsite, and on limited lunchtime. The effort of work put into this job is oversee by the management that you are not valued most of the time. Even though its a start tech environment it is very much corporate world where is transition between management and team is all divided.

Pros

Pay increase year over year, But it less than 75 cents

Cons

You do not have a voice, and speaking up will most likely lead to term by retaliation. Bringing your concerns to leadership only allows them the re-disguise their negative behavior towards you. They create confusion and block you from excelling further into the company.

Pros

After upsetting setbacks and reductions in force, we seem to be trending back the right direction and our priorities are aligned. Work/life balance remained unaffected and are outstanding. Opportunities for growth are all over.

Cons

We might still be trying to bite off more than we can chew with all the things we want to get done
