Terrible pay and leadership

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

If you're looking for a sub-par salary and high-stress demands, then this is the place to be! Here are some pros: Games on-sight, friendly coworkers, one monthly free lunch, and a good place to get your foot in the door.

Cons

The pay is nowhere near competitive enough for the Bay Area. While this is varied between department, the better you are at your job, the more the company will try to suck out of you. Don't bother asking for a pay adjustment or a raise, because you'll be met with excuses upon excuses as to why you're not valued.
