Pros

* Fridge was nicely stocked * Most of the employees were nice enough and easy to work with

Cons

* Completely agree with the first review, it's definitely a legitimate one from a former employee: There's a totally an odd, unprofessional, and nepotistic structure at the top. 2 of the co-founders are Brazilian and their sole job seemed to be keeping their family and friends employed. They also started all these random Brazilian projects that was really distracting to the main business. The 3rd co-founder doesn't seem to have a clue how this is perceived by the rest of the team. Half the time, the Brazilian co-founders are speaking to the other Brazilian employees in Portuguese and no one actually knows what's going on!! This actually happened. * The 3 co-founders are like kids running through the streets. They don't have much of a plan for anything and are highly reactive. Sometimes they're on the same page, but most times, they just emerge from some room with some random plan. But nothing really sticks long-term. It really feels like no one of them have been at this level before, i.e. managing a real team. * It was truly one of the oddest and most unprofessional environments that most of us there have ever been around. Stay away and save yourself the trouble. Also, you don't have to work in this warehouse in the middle of nowhere near SFO. Zero perks there.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time working at Labdoor. I've learned a lot there and the projects were very well spec'd and thought out. The culture there was great. People were very friendly, and out-of-office activities happened spontaneously.

Cons

Too little prototyping and experimenting. Everything was done so carefully that new ideas took to long to be implemented, and required a lot of work, before actually having any usage data from customers.

Pros

- Nice location. - Easy people to work with. - Room to learn and grow. I just saw some other reviews complaining about the upper management lack of control and the high number of Brazilian employees. Well, apparently a lot of things changed in 2018. The company seemed to have changed its direction and they are completely focused on very narrow objectives.

Cons

- It's a small company trying to deliver a lot, so, expect to overwork a bit. - They should be more transparent with their employees about future plans.
