      Pros

      I have nothing good to say about this company other than the couple of people I met who I remained friends with outside of work.

      Cons

      This company is god awful. The stress alone will eat you alive. Forget having a life outside of the office. The management is insane. I've never been in a more unstable, and unhealthy environment in my life! Don't get your hopes up and think that this company will actually make it BIG. With the way that this company is run there is no chance in hell! The CEO and managers spend their days yelling at the top of their lungs at each other and this lasts all day and makes it impossible for anyone to concentrate or get any of their work done. Then they expect you to stay later to make up for the time they spend distracting everyone. It truly is a crazy place to work and your ideas and suggestions never get taken seriously. A dictatorship for sure. They don't care about their employees whatsoever, as long as you are willing to put in 12 hour works days and slave away for them then they may actually keep you on board. This company is going to burn itself down one team member at a time. My suggestion- take my advice and DO NOT INTERVIEW HERE. Don't be fooled by the work and mirrors like I was. You'll be doing yourself a huge favor.

      Pros

      - Hungry people are rewarded - Plenty of room for advancement - Your input is highly valued and is often transformed into a new product feature or improvement - Laid back and flexible environment - Focus on quality of business development over quantity - Lunch/drinks are provided multiple days/nights per week

      Cons

      - 15-minute walk from bart - If you need a very structured position where you are essentially a robot, then this place is probably not for you - It's a little loud from all the people talking on the phone

      Pros

      Good location with lots of food around. I have met some pretty cool people working here. Easy job to get as long as you have some work experience.

      Cons

      Long hours for all full-time members (8am-6pm M-F) and no flexibility. Very strict rules and don't expect any exceptions to the rules. Things are constantly changing every couple of days and often doesn't make sense. Don't bother to give your opinion on changes because although it is asked from you often, it is never actually taken into consideration so don't waste your breath. You want to just do as upper management says and stay on their good side in order to survive here. The CEO plans to hire full time interns instead of full time members with benefits so he can get more for his money. Intern pay is not enough to cover the cost of living in San Francisco... I have a more descriptive review coming up, but for now I am short on time.

      Thank you for your feedback. It was difficult for me to read all the negative reviews on Glassdoor at the beginning, however, I sincerely appreciate all the feedback from our former team members, and want to thank you and them for caring for the progress of Verlocal even after leaving. As the CEO, I sometimes need to make rather fast and aggressive decisions in order to put the company in the right decision and for the good of the company. Even though I've attempted and still do attempt to make all decisions in a considerate manner, I do apologize if I wasn't able to fully maximize your full potential and consider everyone's opinions. Please do note that since we've started the company, more than 70% of our team members were or eventually became full-time members with benefits. We usually have a 2-3 month paid internship period before we transition interns into full-time positions. Because of all the concerns and encouragement from our current and former team members, Verlocal is able to grow every day. I will do my best in order to take all the feedback on Glassdoor into account, so that Verlocal can keep growing and achieve its mission.
