Friendly people, but the company needs to grow up
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Palo Alto, California, United States
May 29, 2016
Pros: Lots of growth opportunities if you're willing to teach yourself.
Many friendly and curious people.
Tasty food.
Fun events.
Good yoga classes.
Cons: The wheel is reinvented all the time here since we never actually use industry best practices. The leads are young (especially on product development), and it's an intensely political workplace. Many of the leads are horrible at giving honest feedback, and people are frequently burned by this (including myself). People are often praised for working through the night or weekends; they are never praised for planning ahead to avoid such catastrophes. Working long hours is a badge of honor here.
