Pros

Even with all fairness, it's really hard for me to come up with any upside of working here as a non-engineer.

Cons

Way too much politics for such a small, growing team. Salary for a pre-IPO in Silicon Valley is very disappointing. Management has a chip on their shoulder and anyone daring to sing a different tune better start packing their bags. Everyone too busy impressing everyone around them instead of doing their job. Insecure management always trying to watch their back - what does that say about the culture.

*Little to no training or investment in "people" *Lack of internal tools to progress/succeed in your role (short term) and career (long term) *Weak management with little to no management experience (lots of first time managers) *Passive agressive political environment ...Watch your back from day 1! *Sink or swim - new recruits are not set up for success *Lack of transparency within smaller teams creating a disconnect between upper management and the employees doing the day-to-day grunt work keeping the business afloat *Remote offices are extremely disconnected - Senior Management has not made it an initiative to build a positive culture outside of the San Francisco Headquarters *Slow to acknowledge and dig deep into issues affecting teams productivity and efficiecy
