      Pros

      -Decent pay and benefits for a foundation -Met some amazing people

      Cons

      As typical of Silicon Valley, especially high turn-over rates, unpleasant work space for POC due to lack of mentorship and other issues. Growing too fast without thoughtfully strategizing, which contrasts to its missions of creating change for the long-term.

      Pros

      I couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a meaningful chapter of my career. Intelligent, mission-driven, low-ego colleagues, inspiring work, and many opportunities to learn and grow. It’s also one of the few places I’ve worked where you don’t have to trade off between enjoying the work, good compensation, and a healthy work-life balance. Even having been impacted by layoffs, I remain very grateful for the experience.

      Cons

      Increase volatility in recent years with restructuring. Hopefully things settle with clearer strategic direction in place.

      Pros

      Lots of smart people to work with and learn from. Onsite office is great.

      Cons

      Leadership and middle management will do anything to make themselves look good to c-levels , will go as far as taking credit for work not done by them. Every 3-4 months for years and prior to me working there, org goals change at a dime with no heads up and expectations are to perform excellently.
