Pros: The people are great: dedicated, smart, willing to teach and learn, and always striving to put the customer first. The nature of the company as a mission-critical piece of infrastructure for some of the biggest companies in the world also helps make it an exciting place to be. It's a fantastic place to start your career or continue it.

Cons: The company is growing. I've been working here for over two and a half years at this point, and there are definitely some growing pains. The good news is that everyone, from management to the interns, is contributing to fixing the pain points and ensuring that the start-up culture stays around. Moving fast and executing is definitely a core value at the company.

Pros: They are growing, have a good reputation within the industry, and offer excellent compensation and benefits. There are interesting problems to solve.

Cons: Though they have stated values surrounding lofty concepts, such as Transparency and Integrity, the implementation is sorely lacking. They have hired and promoted people with impressive resumes, but who lack many of the basic skills and talents needed to perform their jobs. Though they speak a lot about Inclusion and Diversity, and have training about avoiding bias, the net results are far less impressive. Honest feedback about dysfunctional patterns is not appreciated (and barely tolerated). It's a great place to earn some money and bolster your resume, but is not a long-term career – except for a very small group of elites.

Pros: Smart and hardworking people. Lots of technology to learn and grow as an engineer. Great salaries.

Cons: A bit far from the nearest MUNI station, and parking is a problem.
