Pros

Fascinating, exciting work, in fields that make a difference. Surrounded by brilliant, dedicated people.

Cons

Wildly under-resourced, both in budgets and headcounts. Mandatory three days a week in the office, even for global roles that are more effectively performed remotely. Little done about problematic personalities in key positions who inhibit excellence.

Pros

Great company to work with away from the main headquarters located in Foster City. Lots of learning opportunities and a good culture to make it so you enjoyed working with your colleagues.

Cons

Management reviews and process for promotions seem a bit skewed. It seemed to fall on how well your own management could "sell" you to the other team's management.
