Business outlook
Pros
I have been at Topix for over 6 years now (longer than any of my previous jobs in the valley) and I continue to be impressed. Topix offers above average wages and a relaxed atmosphere that has the feel of a start-up but the flexibility that doesn't force you to choose between your social life and your career. Topix has full benefits, stocked kitchen, employee stock grants, and performance bonuses. Overall it is a great place to work and, with the company expanding its reach beyond the initial news aggregator/hyper-local forum business, it is a very exciting time to be a part of the team.
Cons
The commute from SF can be dreadful at times. Occasional work from home days become necessary just to recharge from drive-time stress.
