Pros

A unique culture, the HR team does it's best to keep the spirits of the company up. The founders are fantastic people, the location is prime. (Downtown by Embarcadero Pier). The engineering is motivated to lift itself and become better but lacks experience and wherewithal to do the same. Some really smart and fun people work over here, the culture is casual and work life balance is good.

Cons

When I started, the company was full of bright and smart people and a tight knit culture. Overtime, a majority departed and the culture revealed itself as cliquey. By the time my employment ended, it was dominated by politics and insecure management that saw good people being forced to resign or fired. Politics interfered and sadly the company is now made up of C players when at a time it was full of A and B+ players looking to lift the company in a better direction. Execution on most projects was sloppy.

Pros

Empathetic, principled leadership Great benefits and work/life balance Interesting work in a challenging vertical New ideas are welcomed and seriously considered Lots of smart people

Cons

Staffing is insufficient. Company needs to commit adequate resources for new initiatives or make harder choices - too many balls in the air right now. Collaboration across US/Europe time zones is challenging and delays communication and decision making. Tenured people have little recent exposure to newer tech and trends. Tech salaries are low compared to industry. Maybe irrelevant as salary bands are dropping?
