Avantages
1 Complimentary water-coffee-tea-organic soda pop, (not that you cannot get these and more at other tech companies in the valley) 2 health benefits are good (again same with any other company around here) 3 neat coworkers, newer office space 4 unlimited sick days, that you will need to use often to escape the horrendous culture 5 very strict about working from home, even tho they hire remote employees, and advertise flexible work schedules. Lies.
Inconvénients
1 bad management thats coming top down. Good luck getting constructive feedback. You are expected to figure everything out on your own. Managers hire and fire like it's nothing. Truthfully I can't even count the number of people who have been fired with no warning or plans 2 company promotes all managers from within, and they only promote the best puppets for their masters. No manager has their own thoughts or have been given any kind of training. Most managers are very young, manage 10 people or more 3 ixl puts up fake reviews on glassdoor. Proof - Look for two bad reviews written around end of june, and check out the flood of good 5 star reviews within the week afterwards. Come on...so Desperate 4 no career path, they hire new grads and pay poorly because they know youre desperate for tech experience. When you ask for a raise or career path, make sure you are either a salesperson and/or a male. Otherwise, good luck. I have seen at least 5 women put on improvement plans, most of those people either left because they were pushed out or they got fired first. No men have ever gotten an improvement plan here.. sexism at its finest.
