Pros
If you're a sneaker head, or you have an appreciation for the culture, then you will be around like minded individuals and come in contact with many rare and amazing sneakers.
Cons
- Horrible management and HR. - They will try to force you to do work outside of your responsibilities. Then get upset when the priority work isn't done. - Hazardous and dangerous work environment. They're cheap. So when it's summer, it's blazing hot in the office, and when it's winter, there's no heat to stay warm. Massive floods, roof collapse, and power outages every other week. They try to fix the problems with bubble gum, rubber bands and used band-aids. - No room for advancement -

Great work environment with tons of growth potential for those willing to go above and beyond.

- 4.0Sep 10, 2013Senior ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 3 yearsSan Jose, CA
Pros
Good company with great leadership. John Donahoe is the unsung hero of SV. The compensation is good and they are generous with Restricted Stock Units. Nice work environment.
Cons
People could be nicer. It can be a tense work environment with lots of stressed out people snapping at each other.
