Pros
People are generally nice
Office is in a good location near Caltrain
Good lunch benefit to go out and eat with coworkers
Good work/life balance
Lots of free drinks and snacks
Lots of potential to grow into something big ..,but there is work to do on the cons
Cons
There are a large group of "legacy" staffers who are ineffective
They've unsuccessfully tried to shuffle some people around but keeping ineffective team members has hurt morale
Pay is not competitive
Most people work remote which makes coordination hard
Benefits are not competitive even post acquisition
There are cliques. and i you aren't part of them, you'll likely feel like an outsider
Not a very inclusive environment
Senior management is more concerned about their own jobs than their team member growth
