Pros

There's a huge opportunity for Trifacta in big data analytics. The founding team are academics with incredible reputations (Joe Hellerstein, Jeff Heer who created the D3.js framework, Sean Kandell). The investors are first class (Greylock, Accel, Ignition) and the product team that Joe, Jeff and Sean have assembled really is young, incredibly smart and highly motivated. The result: a product that really is unlike anything else out there. Now, things have gotten serious at Trifacta with the hiring of a results oriented go to market team who have a track record of real success. Customer acquisition is on a steep upward trajectory and the early customers who are in production think of Trifcata as a religious experience. Check out GoPro's session at Strata San Jose when the recording becomes available! Apart from all that, Trifcata's location is perfect, in the San Francisco Financial District, right beside BART. There's catered lunches, lots of team nights out, snacks and coffee, and city and water views from almost the entire office.

Cons

If you want to drive to work, don't park near the office as it's expensive and traffic around Market St is horrible. The gym package is with 24 Hour Fitness, I think everyone would prefer Equinox! I can't think of any more cons - this is a great place to work.

Pros

I come from a UC, which is considered moderately prestigious in the world of higher education. That being said, I have never been surrounded by such a high concentration of intelligence and knowledge as I have here at Trifacta. I am constantly amazed by the level of intellect that resides in our office. If you are motivated and inspired by top level collaboration with the best minds in the tech field, then this is your place. In addition, we have unlimited vacation time, office vacations (i.e. Hawaii and Napa wine tours), happy hours offsite, video games, ping pong, open floor layout, even catered lunches. This company knows how to work hard and exceed expectations; we are motivated and goal-oriented. We also know how to relax and have fun. We respect the importance of living a well-balanced lifestyle.

Cons

The team is made up of the intellectual elite and with the bar set so high, the level of expectation for each employee is high. You have to be prepared to meet or beat expectations. We support each other and help each other to succeed but we do also expect you to carry your share of the work load. This is not necessarily a "con" but it can be for someone who is not self-motivated.
