Pros

I'm still a newbie here but I can already say it's the best company I've worked for, especially with regards to benefits and perks. You can tell they really take care of their employees. There's more diversity here than I've had at past companies too! Everyone is super nice and helpful and the founders are all very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. None of the bigwigs I've talked to are intimidating at all!

Cons

The only thing I can think of (since I'm still new) is that the office is located in Downtown San Mateo where you have to pay for parking...BUT the company still offers commuter benefits to help with that. It's really not an issue since working at the office is not required yet because of the pandemic.

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
