Pros

Sex positive work environment Freedom to actualize your ideas Self directed work

Cons

Lack of organization and strong leadership Leadership makes knee-jerk decisions that do not benefit the company Employees do not feel appreciated. Employees think they do not have skills, are not hireable, and that GV is the best job they will get. All employees I worked with are incredible assets with technical skills but receive little feedback about their value. Salaries are not comparable for Bay Area Secrecy about operations Incompetent HR that is the puppet of leadership Little to no strategic planning or use of consumer insights - more of a "catch up" philosophy to meet industry shifts while riding on the coat tails of their name Vacation/sick time is minimal and does not approach Bay Area standards Surveillance culture that questions employees' whereabouts constantly Application of retail policies on technical and marketing staff with entirely different work scopes
