Pros

The people were the best part of this company.

Cons

Their management team is just terrible. They don't care about the people that work there and do nothing to promote a positive work environment. Almost every Exec and manager at this company is disrespectful, condescending and instead of helping you grow they bring you down. Their office culture is hard to describe because it's almost nonexistent. This company does not promote a good work environment and ironically, their management team has no people skills. I could never recommend this company to anyone. There are so many great companies and opportunities in the Bay Area, please don't waste your time and skills here.

Pros

They pay decently well and have pretty good benefits The ones who do well there, do VERY well there and stay for a long time. You just have to be the right fit

Cons

This was not a good environment for me, but it might be okay for other people. And there are really incredible people who work there. That being said: Work related: - Little to no training to set you up for success - No constructive feedback until it's too late - It used to be more laid back for getting stuff done but as they're growing they're implementing strict processes that can block you. I get that it's necessary to put those into place early, but not to this extent Environment related: - It's portrayed as a very easy-going place where everyone is friends, but everyone gossips - Negative feedback is never given upfront by the person who is complaining, or who they're complaining to. It's usually from someone who heard it from them and then "just wanted to give you a heads up" - Don't share any personal information, and don't add anyone that you think you're friends with on social media. Guarantee it'll be shared with the entire company within the day - Boys club mentality
