Pros

They are strong on B2B, and have signed some important institutional deals; its a small company, with good product managers and business development team.

Cons

They outsource the key technology and that is a drag on everything from basic financial reporting to device data capture. Also, they have very tigth budgets and their vacation policy is anticuated.

Pros

Great management, strong culture, no micromanagement, hard-working but respect work/life balance, strong market opportunity, good salaries, not much turnover, strong venture funding. Overall a great place to work.

Cons

Not really much negative about this place, though it would be nice if it was closer to the CalTrain, though there is a shuttle.

Pros

The location is close to the San Mateo bridge, making commuting from the East Bay possible. Not a whole lot else.

Cons

Terrible work life balance, I had meetings start at 11 PM at night for new deliverables due the next day. Pay is below what is standard across Silicon Valley.
