Pros

Great co-workers and seemingly friendly environment

Cons

Similar experience as another former employee. Worked for an Associate who felt the need to give me a pile of work at 4:30pm and told me to get it done first thing next day. Usually at the office until 12:00/ 1:00 am. Was paid low wage and hourly. However, was not allowed to ask for overtime and would get bullied and yelled at (daily occurance). Highly unfortunate and highly illegal. Quit after 1 year. Associate was either kissing up to higher ups or yelling at interns.

Pros

Leadership is very supportive here and as an employee I feel valued. I can voice my opinion about the projects I want to work on and while there is a hierarchy, all opinions on deliverables are considered and valued. Good work/life balance and everyone that works here is kind, considerate, and smart.

Cons

Salaries are very low for the Bay Area, which impacts my desire to stay here long-term.
