Pros

The office is located in downtown Redwood City, close to cal-train and walking distance to a variety of options of places to escape for lunch.

Cons

- The current CEO is the definition of a horrible leader. He takes the great people he hires for granted, plays favorites, has his mind made up before listening to input, creates an atmosphere of fear and though he may say innovation is encouraged you will be penalized or immediately shut down for it. - To FEMALES: This office is a man's world & condescending. It is extremely sexist towards women. If you do not yield to management expect to see that they will find ways to make your life miserable there even if you are performing above and beyond male counterparts in same role. -To POTENTIAL CANDIDATES: If you bring up the Glassdoor reviews in your interviews to help you decide whether or not these reviews are biased or not, expect to be told by management that they are working on a culture change and attempt to sell you on the fact that they want you to be apart of it. I believed I could make a positive impact but this is IMPOSSIBLE with the extremely poor management.

Equilar has female leaders in the Executive, Sr. Director, Director and Engineering Team lead positions. In fact, 2/3rds of our Sr. Directors and 1/2 of our engineering leads are female. They have all earned their positions through excellent performance. We expect the same level of performance regardless of gender. Recently we have championed the Gender Diversity Index and made gender a major focus in Americas top companies. The company has survived 17 years and is profitable, this would be difficult/impossible with poor management. We will continue to expect the highest performance from our leaders and employees and apply the same expectations regardless of gender.

So many long term employees some almost 20 years! Many have grown their careers at Equilar with advancement due to hard work and developing skillset obtained at Equilar. Amazing how fast the teams here push out updates, releases and new products! It goes to show how dedicated and passionate everyone is at the Company. Very smart people work here.

Cons

Some headwinds in the business but constantly evolving and developing with the hope that business products take off soon.
