A great place to learn and grow
A great place to learn and grow
- Lots of very smart engineers
- Cool products with a lot of exciting things in the works
- Plenty of opportunities to step up and expand your scope
- Everyone who is super nice, approachable, willing to help, and sociable
- Great work-life balance: no one is around on weekends and many work typical 9-5 schedules
- New location in San Mateo that includes discounted access to the gym right up the hill at the college.
- Not the most diverse team, especially among execs, who are mostly white males
- No 401k match
- 3 weeks of PTO, plus 1 week of company shutdown in the summer; not bad, but also no policy for gaining PTO based on tenure at the company.
