One of the most collaborative, innovative, and exciting places to work!
Aug 18, 2015 - Recruiting Coordinator in San Francisco, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Open-minded workplace with a deep sense of humility and passion. Strong set of core value that promote a generally positive work atmosphere. Upper management is very mindful of long-term growth and development. The food program is unrivaled and very well balanced. Every meal is made in-house with a variety of options (ie vegetarian, gluten-free, etc). Difference is truly embraced and celebrated here.
Cons
Growth in this company is incredibly fast, scaling at this pace can sometimes be a challenge for management.

Good compensation, lackluster management

- Pay and most benefits are well above industry average - Business & brand is strong - Most of the tech stack is pretty sophisticated, so it’s good for keeping skills up
Cons
- The culture is avoidant of honest feedback, people would prefer you keep criticisms to yourself - It’s unclear what responsibilities middle management has, or how to hold anyone accountable - Career advancement is limited due to how promotions are evaluated; pressure for “large scope” criteria motivates engineers to invent flashy but costly/unnecessary initiatives. Priorities are misaligned with the business. Managers pressure ICs to find a way to promotion without any real path actually existing. - Most middle managers are promoted from IC roles and don’t know what good management looks like, and are given no training. - Least amount of task visibility or project organization of any company I’ve worked for; Leads to lack of shared sense of accomplishment and siloing of work. - Company recently switched to a top-down decision-making strategy (I.e., waterfall), so engineers are even more siloed and have fewer opportunities for visibility & collaboration. Design often doesn’t factor in cost to build.
