Cool place to work
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Palo Alto, California, United States
April 18, 2016
Pros: Neat benefits, awesome coworkers, good work-life balance.
CEO is great and approachable; some levels of upper management are really good and easily accessible.
Cons: Could give back to the engineering community (open sourcing).
Sometimes, feature development takes precedence as it helps revenue, but at the cost of bad engineering.
Have encountered that one bad apple too.
