Pros

Kitchen has a lot of snacks.

Cons

The upper level management does not care about employees, their career growth or even paying them fairly for all the hard work they put in. Hardly any appreciation either. The saddest thing is that if somebody does care, they either are asked to leave or keep their mouths shut. The reason for leaving this job was simply the dishonesty amongst upper level management that spreads downhill and affects an employee’s performance negatively. For the so called office culture, keeping a fridge full of snacks and washroom full of paper is not great office culture. Oh, and the management’s ideology, that comes from the pre-historic era. Micro-managers, keeping things hidden, office whispering (which is a part of great office culture apparently), an employee can take only so much without fair pay. Management prides itself on it's culture, yet it's rotten to the core. Favorites get all the glory, those that truly deserve it are left asking why.

Pros

Jelli is a great place to work! I came to Jelli from a much larger company, and immediately found myself making a much larger impact on the company and product than I ever did over many years at the large corporation. My day to day is much more fulfilling and rewarding. This is a great place to work - everyone is very supportive and focused on working together as a team. This is not a stressful, cutthroat startup - it is a relaxed, yet high performance environment. It all starts with a great culture and solid leadership!

Cons

This is not the place to be if you want to be on the bleeding edge of the tech stack (which is fine for me). Engineers are encouraged to explore and implement new technologies and methods, which is great, but often there is not quite enough time between feature development and platform stability. San Mateo, as a location, makes it tough for the commute - most people are coming from the South/East Bay or SF.
