Pros

food and office is very nice.

Cons

A senior VP will micro manage a software engineer and get him fired regardless of his performance and endorses from managers/team lead. Everything goes super slow, develop -> test ->deploy would take up to half year , and the reason is just to be "safe"

Pros

- Free food and snacks - Commuting benefits - Standing Desks - Free Parking (in San Mateo)

Cons

- Uneducated, Temperamental Leadership - Under-Market Compensation - Owned By Rakuten: 1.5 rating review (on Glassdoor) -- *this is who you're really working for... - No set goals or paths for promotions/growth With all of the opportunities in the Bay area, do yourself a favor and stay clear of this organization. There are too many better opportunities and you will want to leave within a year.
