- 3.0Good culture. Proprietary language is career-limitingSoftware Applications Engineer • Former EmployeePleasanton, California, United StatesSeptember 13, 2017Pros: Amazing culture! Foosball, NERF guns, pool, and table tennis are everyday stuff here. A lot of return offers, and some really relaxed people and management. The intern program is pretty big, so it can seem a little disorganized from the Engineering Manager side of things.Cons: The language they use is very limiting. I wouldn't recommend it if you're going into senior year. I haven't had much trouble with internship seeking, but there is no way this is transferable to a full-time role. Although Workday would be a good place to work after graduation. Also, Pleasanton isn't great.
