Pros

* paycheck * feel good factor working on oncology

Cons

For what I have noticed and also as per many discussions amongst peers, the engineering management (product/qa/design/development) are extremely UNFIT LEADERS, No work life balance (working over the weekend is a norm). Most of these positive posts are fake. If you 're a millennial, you'll fit right into the cliquey environment. Reorg is their answer for more efficiency. About 60-70 % of the workforce either left or were made to leave over the past 1+ year. Pay is low for being located in the heart of SF. Present (so called ) LEADERS are killing the product and in my experience they are unfit to lead engineering teams. This is the main reason why most of us do not do referrals. Very large attrition in the engineering organization due to unqualified engineering leaders(QA and Development). Company does not understand prioritization and asks for high quality, with less time, delivering more features causing the opposite effect, every time.
