Pros

Good location, nice employees and everyone shared in kitchen duties. Poor location in Oakland when there are protests as it's directly across from City Hall making it difficult to concentrate and unsafe.

Cons

Required exempt employees to work 50+ hours per week, btw this is not legal to require a certain number of hours if your work is being done. The office environment was so quiet you could hear a pin drop and employees couldn't readily talk with each other. They lacked team bonding. The management did not know the laws in California and it was not managed well I'm assuming because they were international. The CFO didn't know employment law or payroll tax liability in the differing US states.

Pros

interesting work, some great people working there

Cons

leadership is extremely bad. they are incompetent, set unreasonable expectations, offer no support, guidance or expertise and are quick to play the blame game. low pay and large workloads. Frequent and unpredictable layoffs and high turnover leaving the remaining staff holding the bag.
