Pros

1. Colleagues are helpful, always willing to answer your questions, help you acquire new skills, and give you a hand when you are inundated with works. 2. Executives and managers are intelligent, efficient, and foresighted, from whom you can always learn a lot. 3. Nice location, very pretty office, great coffee machine, and a bunch of snacks.

Cons

1. You have to be a self initiator. Comprehensive training may not be something you can expect from here, so you have to catch up yourself and the learning curve can be very sharp. 2. Due to the size of the company, you have to shoulder multiple responsibilities, which means that you have the opportunities to try various things, but in the meanwhile, you may not have the time to go deep into and hone different skill sets because of the time and budget constraint.

Pros

I learned a lot during my internship! This is an energetic, dynamic office for motivated people who are looking to grow professionally. As an intern, I got the chance to support sales, marketing and product personnel and learn many aspects of the business. The responsibility I was given helped me gain solid skills for the job market. For example, I was asked for my input on an important marketing campaign during team meetings. Also, I was challenged to think critically and creatively about my work, and received regular, constructive feedback that helped better my communication and organizational skills. Lunch in the office tends to be a fun time. Co-workers gather to eat together almost everyday, and occasionally go out as a group. I was surrounded by a talented, hardworking team who inspired me. Unlike many startups, the company has matured into a leader in the business.

Cons

Silicon Valley can sometimes feel like it belongs to techies.

Pros

There are a lot of people at the company with big heart. The company is located in the center of Silicon Valley. You have the opportunity to work closely with other teams.

Cons

Extremely unprofessional among C-level executive also managers. Company tend to hire fresh graduate who needs working visa sponsorship. Since there are number of visa quota each year, either people gets fired, laid off or leave the company due to visa situation. Turnover in the company is extremely high. The most talented people who have either voluntarily left the company or have been let go due to "having too strong of a personality". Managers tends to play mind game and does not give constructive feedback to their team. The work life balance between different departments are very different.
