Pros

Nice office Easy access from BART

Cons

The "emphasis" on taking care of employees is window dressing. Behind the scenes HR supports managers, even when they get caught doing illegal things like secretly recording conversations.

Not The Same Company

Pros

Workmates are collaborative and great people. First line managers are awesome - supportive, approachable.

Cons

Executive leadership has changed for the worse - clearly don’t care about the employees. They used to promote from within and now they’re from outside. Their lack of connection to company culture is obvious. They talk about the company values but don’t live it.
