Pros

Great working community!!! Everyone is really nice, open and ready to help you out. Managers are very understanding and they care about you. Work projects are really interesting and exiting. There's a lot to do, to grow and to accomplish, so you have plenty of space to create something new and have a real impact in the company. Creativity and thinking out of the box are well rewarded!

Cons

If you are not based in HQ, sometimes you can feel a bit disconnected from all the good things that are happening in SF.

Pros

-Free food and drinks -Weekly happy hours, great way to connect with the office and have fun! -Lots of opportunities to learn and grow. -Managers do their best to give you projects that you will enjoy. -Large office but everyone gets along really well and truly cares for each other. -Pays much better than my previous management job and I am not currently in management. -Full benefit package: fully paid health, dental, vision and all the other stuff like 401k, AD&D, short term disability, etc. -Lots of PTO -Sick days -Compensation for parking -And much much more

Cons

-Not really any cons...some people don't like that you get either Friday and Saturday or Sunday and Monday off...but personally I prefer this. -Wow, first job where I have to think what I don't like about my job and nothing came to mind!
