Pros
- Great location. - Awesome building (historic Carnegie library!). Yay...none of the above are assets owned by the company or would they add any compensation or value to your work. - Fully stocked bar & snack bar...but no time for lunch.
Cons
- Employee perks (if you are able to use any of them, it will come with greed. Management has a tendency to repriment you for earning these “PERKS” and would go as far as to imply you may be taking some of the items bar or snacks home. - Travel as a mule for upper management. They will request for you to work constantly, while they pretend you are being rewarded by allowing you on the trip. - Projects are always rushed! You will be receiving projects at the end of the day...that need to be done by the end of the day! -Weird hours...9-6 (great if you are not a morning person...specially because you will be there until midnight in many instances) with lame excuses: such as this is the fast-paced work environment of Silicon Valley, our clients are always innovating and need projects done at a minute’s notice. -Company distributed an employee handbook referencing “The Devil Wears Prada” movie as a work guidance...if that gives you an idea of the Drama Free environment the company strives for. - Management is really egotistical and will prevent you from growing within the company. - Trips to meet with Silicon Valley clients are lame, as you would be expected to cater to upper management needs. - Company refers constantly to the “fast-paced work environment of Silicon Valley” in a way to make you believe that you need to produce more for less with no time.
