Pros

Overall pretty good. 401K. Other teams, easy going and fun.

Cons

In a nutshell, staying in Webteam is way worse than being uncomfortable. It can change your personality and perfectionism if you are just outta from college or have not been guided by any mentors or supervisors previously. This is an 8:30 am -5:30 pm role. It will make you feel you have to work long hours or be frowned upon (at least the team lead SHOULD not fire you for it but he implies that you should stay longer to finish the reports he asked for or keeps you staying late to listen to his lecture). Even if I come in at 7:30 a.m. because I like to start early and avoid traffic I still get a knock if I'm not in my seat until 5:30,literally. It's the weirdest thing I've ever experienced in Silicon Valley as a salaried employee. BTW, other than the team, everyone in the company can WFH. Team lead. A micromanagement person, non-sensed detail-oriented , old-school one with a lecture personality. He never trusts team members. He never says hello to his team members bumping into each other in the company's public area, and no ‘how’s your weekend’ talk AT ALL. When you hear him talking, mostly like he is blaming someone in the team, other than those times, you will find the whole working area is zero talking among the team only typing sound left. When talking with other teams, he plays nice and sweet. People in other teams know the team morale and always throw us with pitiful eyes and suggest we start job hunting ASAP.

Pros

This place can be great at times, most co-workers are great and understand it's not an easy place to work. Pay is ok, however read cons. You can learn a lot,

Cons

management/owners are toxic, blame every issue on the employees and openly belittle them. Expect things without explaining them correctly. Try to pit employees against other managers to get their way. Actively try not to follow through with promises related to pay/positions. Some non-owner employees are also toxic and on a power trip, steal ideas and push people around instead of training or resolving issues. Kind of company where there's daily water cooler venting conversations about how employees are being treated.
