Reviews about "long hours"
Return to all Reviews- 4.021 Jun 2021Digital Project ManagerFormer Employee, less than 1 yearSydney
Pros
Great minds and motivated to work
Cons
Long hours and lots of politics in company
1 - 5.013 Aug 2021Anonymous ContractorFormer Contractor, more than 1 year
Pros
Great people with collaborative approach toward accomplishing shared vision. Compensation is above market and the company really cares about the well-being of its employees. Sense of humor is fundamental.
Cons
Long hours can be the norm as people are fully engaged beyond the typical workday. Promotions and hiring can be a political game.

Pros
Flexible working hours and the possibility of a home office
Cons
Long working hours and stressful sometimes
- 5.018 Jul 2010Anonymous EmployeeCurrent EmployeePalo Alto, CA
Pros
The work environment is certainly fast-paced and often chaotic, but everyone manages to keep a level head and make logical, yet innovative decisions, even when under pressure. Most people are pretty young as is reflected in the culture of t-shirts, jeans, video games, and ripsticks. The food is awesome and definitely makes it easier to work longer hours and actually enjoy them. Working cross-functionally is not only accepted, but expected. You won't be confined to your own team, which is nice. Overall, it's definitely the best job I've had so far.
Cons
As a pretty young company, policies and best practices change quite often, which can be hard to follow at times. Other than that, there really aren't many cons.

Pros
