Pros

Weekly Friday happy hour. Great food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Healthy snacks. Well-behaved dogs allowed in the office. Very long maternity and paternity leave. Very flexible work schedule. Very interesting coworkers. Fast-growing, with lots of room for advancement. Located in the heart of San Francisco.

Cons

Very high expectations of employees. Even though it is growing quickly, the bar is set incredibly high for hiring. The IT department is slow.

Advice to Management

Employer-sponsored childcare nearby or somewhere in the building would be a great benefit for employees starting to have children. As the office gets older, people are starting to have children, and they can be very distracting in the actual office.
