Pros

Great minds at this company. Nurtures my personal want to improve and increases my drive.

Cons

A lot of long time employees leaving due to a supposed "culture change" but I have not been around long enough to know the difference from 5 years ago.

Pros

Amazing people. I made some of my tightest friendships at this company. Glassdoor has amazing perks (catered lunches, amazing team events, gym access, crossfit, yoga, etc) and an awesome location on the water in Mill Valley.

Cons

As with all start ups, there are growing pains. A lot of the original culture-drivers left the company. Some middle management issues, but all in all, great company.

Great company, great benefits, good work-life balance, beautiful office. Overall a good experience and free catered lunch is a huge bonus.

Cons

Compensation is not great compared to others in the tech industry. Benefits are strong, but base pay seems to be fairly low for the Mill Valley/SF area.
