Beware of the health insurance
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
December 22, 2015
Pros: Positive culture
Fast pace of growth
Great mission
Excellent people
Cons: Check the fine print on the benefits if you are coming from another tech company, especially if you have or are planning to have a family and need good health insurance. That was the biggest surprise for me and will probably be one of the reasons I decide to eventually leave.
