Pros

Great reputation Lots of capital Supportive of companies...sometimes to a fault or perhaps that's the ego of partners who won't shoot the dying horse Lots of opportunities to take on projects and lead deals Good work life balance

Cons

Poor management Lots of politics..not at all a meritocracy anymore Agree with other reviewer on inability to compete against other Silicon Valley VCs in tech Investment decision process can be haphazard and there is little accountability Lots of dead weight idiots

Pros

Growth mindset org, very team oriented

Cons

Distributed team so takes work to be aligned, team orientation means you do some work to create buy in, but that pays off long term.

Pros

Learning Opportunities: You get to learn a lot about different companies and industries. Networking: You meet many smart and influential people. Innovative Environment: You work with the latest technology and ideas. Supportive Team: Your coworkers are helpful and supportive. Career Growth: There are many chances to grow and advance in your career! Especially if you want to work for a start-up company. Diverse: Better diverse than I expected. This makes sense since it is a relatively new company(founded in 1977)

Cons

- Staff take forever to reply to emails - Constant deadlines after deadlines - Frequent, long Zoom calls that could be summarized into 5-minute emails! - Long work hours so the job does NOT have a good work-life balance - Many staff members are in different time zones so scheduling meetings is very annoying
