Pros

The people are fantastic. The New Zealand culture is very family oriented and provides many opportunities for life/work balance. Awesome market with lots of opportunity. The product is easy to use and most customers are fanatical about the value SLI delivers... however...

Cons

The space is becoming crowded and "search" is quickly becoming a commodity. The lack of extra cash to invest in innovation and expansion is sure to weigh heavy on the future of SLI. I see further issues with retaining employees, mostly due to their lack of cash and inability to pay market rates for good people.

Pros

Downtown San Jose - easy access to 101/280. Snacks. Weekly Massages. Good entry-level positions.

Cons

HR is completely unaware of SJ office life and prone to speaking unappropriately with female employees who are treated badly.

Pros

- Free snacks - Downtown location - Work/life balance

Cons

Management is incompetent and only come into the office a few times a week, but tell employees they aren't working enough. It's clear the CEO just hired old coworkers/friends so they can collect a paycheck. Middle management is filled with people who have never managed teams before or have no training to do so. Get ready to be micromanaged and openly criticized. Environment is known to be a boys' club so unconscious biases towards women do happen. Zero career growth. Don't expect to work hard and be rewarded for it. Promotions will only be given to favorites. Compensation is also below market average. If you have any problems with this, don't bother going to HR. Your complaints will be negated and you will be blamed for something, one way or another. They have openly made disparaging remarks about Americans in more than one occasion.
