Pros

- Free Coffee - Growing Company - Close to Alameda Ferry - Business Park Shuttle to Bart

Cons

- Executive's children are promoted to IT Business, Finance, Marketing, and Product Manager, over individuals with tons more experience and education in the field. - Favoritism is rampant. If a employee raises concerns, they are silenced, and "yes people" are promoted. - Pay is low compared to industry standards. - Culture is Toxic - HR does not support employees, is only on the lookout for the Company's best interest. - Middle Managers in every team from Product Survelliance, Customer Service, Legal, Marketing, HR, and more are useless. Work is funneled down, and they are constantly "in meetings".
