Pros
Smart, capable crew of really experienced Hadoop and Spark experts who have worked at places like Yahoo, Google, LinkedIn, and Oracle. Company revenue is growing quarter by quarter, newer customers are larger brand names that even your parents have heard of, customers are pretty happy. Pay is competitive, benefits are good, and it's close to Caltrain. Hours are flexible and "work from home Wednesday" policy helps. Increasingly recognized as a real player in the Big Data space. Looks like we're headed into a "rationalization" in Silicon Valley, and this place has a good shot at being a winner.
Cons
Open office environment is a plus sometimes, a real drag at others. Headphones are key. Company recently experienced a moderate re-org. Rent in the Palo Alto area is a bit rough, many people have long commutes. Sometimes they say yes to crazy customer demands too often.
