Pros

* Brilliant & friendly colleagues * Great benefits * Breakfast, Lunch twice a week + wide variety of snacks * Growing business * Very much a needed business: affordable backup made easy & object storage made affordable * Close to San Mateo Caltrain (check a map for your version of close) * Office has character. * Unlimited PTO -- can be convenient

Cons

* Open office means it can be noisy * San Mateo is equally inaccessible from San Jose, San Francisco, & the East Bay Area. Commuting is unpleasant. *It's either inconvenient Caltrain, or the parking lot of 101, or the parking lot of 280. * Office has character. * Unlimited PTO -- can be hard to take (although my management has NEVER had an issue with the time taken)
