Pros
i save money lots of money
Cons
I can't think of any other than theres a limit on coupons
Pros
Free food and best location to commute
Cons
- Managers are having very very rusty technical skill sets. Couldn't understand domain or technology.
- More politics. 80% politics and 20% work.
- No innovation or new learning. With in one year you will be saturated.
- All good people are leaving just because of not getting opportunity as well as don't want to involve in politics.
Advice to Senior Management
Managers never listen to team members concerns and giving advice or feedback to them is of no use.
Pros
free food, scooters, a few nice colleagues
Cons
This place has unbelievable attrition rate, and HR's handling of terminating employees is very questionable. Incompetent management creates rampant politics. This company has potential, but not with current leadership. I cannot honestly recommend this place to my contacts in my network. Make sure what you are getting into when you apply.
Advice to Senior Management
Please pay attention to good employees who are being punished for not playing politics.
Pros
Great people: most employees are easy to approach and get along with.
Fast-paced environment.
Free food, beverages, and snacks.
Good health benefits.
The company is doing a lot to improve the culture, they just started offering fitness classes.
Cons
The work hours can be very long, some of the employees in upper management seem harder to approach and relate to.
The CEO is barely visible, which is odd for such a small company. Unless you are in upper-management, most employees only know him via e-mails and company-wide meetings.
Advice to Senior Management
Fully embrace the open and easy-going culture of other Sillicon Valley companies like Google and Facebook. The company is taking baby steps towards having a more relaxed culture, it takes more than just bean bags and a game room because right now it all feels like a cheap imitation... maybe it's because the company is 10+ years old so it's not really a start-up... old habits die hard.
Pros
free lunch (keeps you working at your desk)
some really great people
Cons
internal systems used for fulfillment are horrible (manual processing)
7 different software programs used to complete publishing tasks
management concerned more with political insulation than company culture
No Human Resources presence to diagnose employee satisfaction and health
Advice to Senior Management
clean house
Pros
- free lunch, soda, and snacks
- people are pretty cool
- health benefits
Cons
- very inexperienced middle management
- systems / tools suck making it next to impossible to preform your job efficiently (causes hours of overtime)
- only 2 weeks vacation
- no work / life balance
- re-org every other week
- more VP's then you can shake a stick at
- Start-up mentality and workload but nowhere close to start-up reward (pathetic amount of stock options)
Pros
Free lunch & drinks
Free parking
Cons
Sr. Management cares only about revenues and could care less about culture and employee morale making the environment prone to high turnover, functional silos, politics, and bad behavior. Unfortunately, some of the "valued" employees are young and impressionable giving way to high school type behaviors that would never be condoned as professional or simple human courtesy. There is a complete lack of communication or any transparency from Sr. management and they like it that way. Politics is extremely prevalent between the departments and often times you find yourself fighting against one another to get anything accomplished. This is not a "start-up" mentality here as it's been around for 10+years so there is a lot of dead wood walking around who are against any change (like management). Overall, it's not a good place to be for a long time or even at all. Don't be lured by the glamour of equity since it's obvious management wants to keep it just the way it is.
Pros
-free lunch
-nice people & professional work environment
-opportunities to work on new & interesting projects
-high profile clients
-company is growing
Cons
-lack of transparency regarding company financials
-company still not well known
-sometimes lacks resources (human) to get projects or issues addressed in timely fashion
Advice to Senior Management
-recent HR changes have been great. appreciate management's desire to make culture changes and to keep employees healthy and happy
