Pros

This is a very friendly place. When I started, people went out of their way to introduce themselves and to check in on me. People seem to be very knowledgeable about their work focus, but it's also clear that many people have active, interesting lives outside of work. I appreciate that even though it hasn't been discussed much explicitly, work-life balance seems important to people here.

Cons

If you live in San Francisco and don't have a car, the San Mateo office location can make for a bit of a long commute. People take the BART and then a shuttle (plus a very short walk). It's not the worst problem to have, but the time can add up if you have to wait very long between modes of transportation.

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
