Pros

- great people who are intelligent and dependable - management that listens - great downtown location - lunch catering 3 times per week - occasional happy hours and rare offsites - brilliant, if understaffed, engineering team When I started at TalentBin, it was like the cool twenty-something entrepreneur that everyone wanted to be like. Now it's like the forty-something dad that is trying to be cool but keeps using slang incorrectly. It's trying, but can't quite get it right.

Cons

- lots of your job is putting out fires and compensating for systemic issues - few opportunities for advancement or career development - lots of turnover, positions not being backfilled - unexpected challenges popping up because of being a very small part of a VERY big corporation - loss of original company culture due to acquisitions and founding-employee turnover (this is not a start-up culture anymore) - people on different teams don't interact as much as they used to, somewhat clique-ish

Pros

Working at TalentBin has been a fantastic experience all around. Everything I was promised during my initial interview has come to fruition. These are all the things that TalentBin has returned since joining: -An openly supportive environment, where others are always willing to cover for anyone who is ill, or otherwise having trouble -Full transparency when it comes to team and company goals. -Constant interaction with leadership -Leadership is open to suggestion, receptive to individual needs, and generally on your side as an employee -Unified team goals in an extremely friendly group of overachievers -A fast-paced environment fueled by creativity and positive motivation from management -A team of incredibly intelligent people willing to learn and improve every single day. -Weekly happy hours -Team off-sites to fun places -Quick upward career mobility (example, I was hired in August and by January I was promoted) Located in San Francisco, the office is located in the financial district and near some very interesting places to go exploring if you're new to the city. I moved here from the East Coast, and it's been nothing but great pleasure to work here at TalentBin. I would recommend working here to anyone who's willing to work hard and reap the benefits of doing so.

Cons

Because we're a startup recently acquired by a larger corporation, some of our processes move a little more slowly, which can be frustrating at times, but is largely expected in this sort of scenario. However, management is working towards greasing the wheel when it comes to these sort of issues.
