Pros

Some of the team were very smart people trying to solve difficult problems. Compensation was fair if you survived the multiple rounds of cuts.

Cons

Over the years several acquisitions and management teams that cared more and more about their own compensation than the future of the company saw a steady decline in morale, talent and physical location.

Pros

It's a job, and it pays ok. Benefits are in line with most other jobs of this type. Large office, happy hour Fridays (once a month) and bagel Wednesdays (every week). Main SF office is 3 blocks from BART, close to a lot of places to eat and shop, etc, here in SoMA.

Cons

Management is in turmoil. The board recently replaced the CEO, and all but one of the other C-level executives left the company, most for the competition. Job satisfaction is low. You're micromanaged. "Here is a spoon full of work, tell me when you're done so I can critique it, give you the thumbs up or down, and give you the next tiny spoon full." Want to work with people who are smarter then you, and who can challenge you to think of things in new innovative ways? If you are, this isn't the place for you. You will not only be told what to do, but be told how to do it and how long it should take you. There are 2 offices, one in SF and one in the south bay. The majority of the engineers set up in the south bay so they can avoid everyone else in the company and work in their bubble. It's why our products quality is severely lacking and why the entire QA team left the company.
