Pros

They offer mediocre snacks for free, they have "unlimited" PTO, and they are by a BART station.

Cons

They have a reputation of being a great company to work for but in reality this is only true if you are content doing the minimum and not growing your career. They hire into roles and give you the smallest "promotions" possible.

Pros

Good Salary, Flexible Time, decent enough amount of benefits/Perks, Lot of fun, Work from home policy, etc

Cons

I guess depending on what your area (DEV, QA, PM) the experience could be different in terms of the kind of work to do, but overall the experience is good

Pros

This company works hard to make sure employees feel cared for and happy. They make a great product, and have happy customers. There is a very active pipeline, and best of all the founders have made it abundantly clear they have no interest in being bought by an investment company (which IMO is the death of all that is good in a company) and they have taken steps to ensure a hostile takeover cannot happen as well.

Cons

my biggest beef is that the office chairs are horrible. even with a doctors note you may be told that you are welcome to bring in any chair you wish. really seems to be in conflict with the companies ideals in every other area.
