      A great group of people

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      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

      - Excellent benefits - Competitive salary - Nice people - Unlimited PTO - Fun company events

      Cons

      - Too few women in upper management - A lot of process red tape. Projects move at a snail’s pace, and it takes FOREVER to accomplish anything if any other person outside of your immediate team is needed - A lot of workplace politics to learn and navigate as a new hire - Employee recognition is lacking
