Pros

I really enjoy working with really smart people that are pushing the status quo away from traditional analytics. Everyone enjoys having fun at work, building great product, and collaborating with one another. Product continues to improve greatly with each quarterly release cycle. Fun, fast-paced journey! If you are a self-starter that is willing to roll-up your sleeves and work hard, you'll excel here.

Cons

Company has undergone a lot of change recently. Though the change has all been positive in my opinion and we are up-leveling sales and the field, it is important to be transparent that not all attrition is regretted so that people further removed don't feel that this change is negative.

Pros

The caliber, intelligence, creativity, collaborative abilities of the entire team are second to none. Lots of food - and not just junk! Product is a stand-out in big data - doing very well and getting lots of traction. People are friendly and will run towards an issue (and a person needing help), as opposed to treating the issue like it's not their problem. Regular updates from exec's about where the business is, where the product is...great for keeping us aware of the latest news. Best place I've worked in a long time.

Cons

Outskirts of downtown San Mateo make the location a little "suburban" in feel - hard to walk out and find much for lunch. The commute can also be challenging for people located more than 15 miles from the office - though they're working on ways to address this (flex days, flexible hours, etc). Also - can we "work" on having more fun?
