Pros

* Brilliant & friendly colleagues * Great benefits * Breakfast, Lunch twice a week + wide variety of snacks * Growing business * Very much a needed business: affordable backup made easy & object storage made affordable * Close to San Mateo Caltrain (check a map for your version of close) * Office has character. * Unlimited PTO -- can be convenient

Cons

* Open office means it can be noisy * San Mateo is equally inaccessible from San Jose, San Francisco, & the East Bay Area. Commuting is unpleasant. *It's either inconvenient Caltrain, or the parking lot of 101, or the parking lot of 280. * Office has character. * Unlimited PTO -- can be hard to take (although my management has NEVER had an issue with the time taken)

Pros

It seemed the company was on an upswing

Cons

Morale is in the dumps. Layoffs have severed trust in the company. CEO has turned over his entire staff, meanwhile the issue is with a failure of vision, attention to project management execution, and meddling in the roadmap that produced no benefits
