Pros

A sexy company with an innovative product and a great vision.

Cons

The company has no concerns for the employees' well-being. They treat their employees as machines and devote no resource or time to career development or their well-being.

It's common to be working 70 to 80 hours a week, and management has no respect for your personal life. Texts or emails on the weekend are the norm. Pay is extremely under market, considering that it's a Palo Alto-based company and the number of hours everyone puts in.

Advice to Management

Treat your employees better. Devote more resources and focus on career development and their well-being. People want to work for you now because it's a hot and sexy product, but it will wear off soon. By then, your good employees will move on to the next big thing or one that pays and treats its employees fairly.
