Pros

positive work culture; everyone is genuinely happy about working there, very team oriented/collaborative environment. A unique & fun place to work and diverse culture with a lot of mutual respect and strong employee camaraderie, and very interesting conversation. Great benefits Schedule flexibility Stability and continuous company success & growth Dog friendly Very transparent environment No silo's founders and exec management believe in doing the right thing, are very much in the weeds with everyone else they ensure that you have a comfortable work station to foster efficiency in your role casual dress code good support provided by management Exec management is very approachable competitive salary and options offered Nice location in downtown San Mateo, walking distance to caltrain and tons of restaurants, stores, bars etc are all walking distance.

Cons

If you require a very structured environment to be successful in your role at work, this is probably not the place for you.

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
