Pros

Growing Global Company that knows how to treat their employees. Love working with other employees ( Australia, New Zealand and the UK) and customers all across the world. Office environment is pretty relaxed, jeans and t-shirts and pretty stress free. Compensation is average to good. Love that when you need a day off (personal or sick) it's usually (99.9%) approved.

Cons

Not real keen on the medical benefits currently, but they've promised to add more choices next year.

Pros

nice offices, some nice people, good location near the water in SF; free food alot and they use MAC's so that was cool

Cons

changing management structure alot, nice managers get run over by new management that doesn't listen, customers have great input but unless they are 'gold' level they really don't get heard.

Pros

-Truly amazing product that WILL change the game once execution complete. Thankful and excited to be a part of it. -Tons of smart people that are fun to work with. -I have had two direct bosses during my time here, and both have been awesome. -Compensation feels good, though I came from outside the tech industry, so hard to say if folks complaining are justified or greedy. -Every day I go to work happy, and I have had jobs in the past where that is not true.

Cons

-Leadership changes during 2014 (San Francisco). both comings and goingings, have been a distraction, and in some cases resulted in lay-offs that looked bad (even if they might have been justified). -Some (but only a minority) do not know who will listen to them when they feel their manager doesn't hear them. -I'm not a fan, in general, of companies using contract workers as "try before you buy" employees. Unless they know it's a short term project need, companies should commit to employees from the beginning.

Anyone in management, up to and especially Rod, would love to hear about issues. We're available anytime -- pick one that you feel comfortable with and give us your thoughts and ideas. The People team in SF are good listeners if someone just needs to be heard.
