Pros

Good, fun, smart and talented people. Always something exciting going on from learning lunches to happy hours. Easy commute - just 2 blocks from BART. If you're a sports fan there's always a screen on with some match which turns lunchtime into a hangout. Great business direction. Having a good Work/Life balance is encouraged daily from the top down.

Cons

Management talks, but doesn't always walk the talk. While the overall business direction is good, the execution can sometimes come off poorly. There is a great potential for meeting overload.

Advice to Management

Stop talking and start walking. There is a great overall business idea (BHAG) that we are all marching to and several good ideas on how to march there, but the execution often fails due to the inability to take a risk. Often when organizations change up their execution approach, they shy back to the old methods too quickly. Management must take a risk and get comfortable with the change (start walking the talk) so that the company can achieve its goals with even greater success.
