Great career as team lead, senior manager, director, and software architect for many years of company growth
- Always a challenge and something interesting to work on.
- Continual availability of new responsibilities to take on and grow into.
- Work that's so interesting and varied that I have never wanted to leave to work elsewhere.
- Great compensation and benefits. Great rewards, recognition, and acknowledgment for excellent performance and outstanding work. Very motivating!
- Great people, with a pretty flat organizational structure, with redirection by peers regardless of level, and not a single prima donna. No naysayers or downtalkers polluting the culture.
- Great collaborative atmosphere and lots of help available as you learn and grow.
- Well-managed, smoothly running, efficient processes on engineering teams create the right amount of pressure, with never a dull moment.
- Ample resources and opportunities to learn and grow.
- With experience, you'll get increased access to executives and leaders to share ideas.
- Really fun "hack weeks" and opportunities to invent and innovate.
- Very good work-life balance. No questions asked personal days. PTO as you need it (merit-influenced) without having to accrue days, with no limit if you responsibly get your work done ahead of time and arrange for backup support while you're away.
- Offices around the world, and opportunities to travel to amazing places for collaboration with teams abroad.
-
No good mass transit options to the San Mateo office location. Most people drive, some bike.
-
Sometimes you must work really early or really late hours due to meetings with international teams. But you can shift your work time around to accommodate.
-
Not a lot of on-campus amenities. Not a lot of catered food. You usually bring your own food and take care of personal business at home. It's not Google, but you're not pressured to "live at work."
- Keep running the company efficiently like a finely tuned machine.
- Keep communicating openly with staff so everyone knows what's going on, even if they may not have a say.
- The company seems really well managed. No big concerns here.

I thought the interview was scheduled, but when I went there, it looked more like a walk-in. Lots of people were being interviewed. They asked very simple questions. I was able to answer those pretty well, and then they said I could leave for the day

Phone interview, followed by onsite. The interviewers appeared to have varying knowledge levels; this was especially apparent when they gave their questions.
