Pros

Refreshing stability in an industry that's experiencing lots of volatility. Leadership really cares about upholding the company values. Beautiful South San Francisco office. Well-funded and lots of excitement about the future.

Cons

HQ centric, start-up feel in certain practices (including the growing pains)

Thank you for the positive review! So glad to hear you've been enjoying your experience with us. We also appreciate your feedback around collaboration, autonomy, and access to meetings. Creating an environment where individuals feel connected to the work and broader context is important to us. At the same time, participation in certain forums can vary depending on role scope and responsibilities. We encourage ongoing dialogue with your manager to identify opportunities to increase visibility, involvement, and impact in ways that align with your role. Your feedback is helpful as we continue to evolve how we support engagement across the organization.
