Advice to Management

While the track record is awesome, we need to get more comfortable with using tech to enable further growth.

Pros

I work at the headquarters in Dublin, CA. I enjoy the campus culture - we have a gym, a peets coffee, and a breakfast/lunch café onsite. The campus is close to restaurants, shops, and grocery stores so it’s easy to run errands at lunch if you need to. The campus feels safe and there is plenty of parking.

The company is growing fast and I think there is more job stability as a result (for those who want to stay put for a while). They seem to have an awareness that employees’ needs and wants are changing and they are working hard to accommodate the “millennial spirit”, but the change is slow.

There is more diversity here than at other corporate offices in the Bay Area that I have worked for. Other places I’ve worked were DOMINATED by white males at all levels (particularly at the management level). I know there is still opportunity, but I think it is good for everyone and the success of the company when its employees are diverse, especially bosses.

Allocation is a strong department equipped with solid training for new hires. Managers are usually flexible with work hours and let you set your schedule. There is a lot of opportunity for growth and if you want to move up quickly, you can do it. If you tell your managers and directors what your goals for growth are, they take you seriously and work hard to help you accomplish them (but you have to speak up).

Advice to Management

Management is very concerned with appearances and will do anything to impress their bosses, even at the expense of their team. Remember: having happy employees also makes you look good.!
