Pros

Things don't change much and when they do, crap hits the fan...so I guess this is a con. This company is very old fashioned and isn't very innovative so if you like that in a company, then it's perfect since most companies in the Bay Area are tech-forward thinking/industry-breaking startups. If you don't have any aspirations in life and just want a job where you go to work, you do your job, you go home, and nothing more, this place is for you. They used to have snacks and drinks in the kitchen (not sure if they still do that). There are truly amazing, smart, capable people who work for this company...and there are a couple that are kind of weird. They used to cater lunch a couple times a year. For Christmas you get a VISA gift card for $50 (but you have to pay an activation fee so it's only like $45.40) If you have a family, they have an annual barbecue/picnic where you bring your family.

Cons

Downtown SJ right across from eBay/PayPal. No guidelines or processes. Everyone is just wingin' it. No clear direction, mission statement, goals, objectives. Everyone just shows up and does their job.

Pros

Nice, down-to-earth team members. Great to collaborate with them during the day, and socialize after work. Experienced, caring management team with integrity. Clear vision for growth. We made several industry lists during 2020 when all the other companies were struggling from the pandemics, so that tells you something about this company's resilience. No office politics or drama. Nice, upscale office environment, with a variety of free snacks and drinks. Each commute if you live in the south bay.

Cons

Half the employees work remotely permanently even before the pandemic, so you feel a little disconnected from them.

Pros

Basic income yet below market

Cons

Everything related to management. Need to have proper moral management hired to turn this company around.
