Hard work is definitely necessary because the company is in a state of growth. It's hard to keep up at times, the demand is so high.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As you know, growing companies have to make some hard trade-offs as they scale. One of those for us was to consolidate our moderation team in a central location. However, thank you for providing us feedback on how we can be better about communicating changes to the business. We appreciate your hard work while you were with us, and wish you the best for the future.

Pros

I literally could not say enough praise about this company so far. Management truly knows what they are doing. They are encouraging to you as an individual and create an environment of collaboration amongst the team. Upper management has been able to find the perfect balance between a motivating and relaxed environment. All expectations are attainable, and also rooted in data.

Cons

I was initially apprehensive about the commute; but working in Sausalito has proven to be a refreshing, and easy break from the fast paced city. I can't imagine working in the Financial District ever again.
