Pros

Good for gaining entry level experience, wide range of products, coworkers were very helpful and friendly, the company held fun teambuilding events

Cons

The pay was not competitive. There was also extreme office politics, managers did not get along which led to tension and conflicting direction (and employees being caught in the middle); the CEO did nothing to address this. There was not always someone in charge of HR while I was there, and although it was a friendly environment coworkers would often make jokes that could be construed as inappropriate/offensive. There was also rampant favoritism, and it almost felt as if there was a ranking system for employees. By the end it felt more like a high school popularity contest than a professional workplace.

Pros

Some really awesome individuals work here. At times, it can almost feel like you're working with friends. The company still has that tech startup feel (ie. snacks, special events, etc).

Cons

Compensation: I would not say the pay is competitive. I left my position after two years and got a $20k increase for a similar position at another, more established, company. Work/life balance (or lack thereof): I worked a Support role, which required occasional on-call/overtime work. At least California employees were compensated for that. But from what I've seen with several other roles in the company is that you're often expected to work outside of your usual shift. Structure (or lack thereof): As seen with many startups, you're expected to do some things that may be outside of your role (ie. Support takes on some implementation work, Dev jumping on Support calls, etc). Fair enough. But this is a company that has been in business since 2013. Internal processes need to better defined or improved.
