Pros

best reason to work here is because bart is closer to office

Cons

(1) low traffic estore...no big technical challenges... (2) low salaries compared to market in SF. (3) lot of politics in the store side...all you need to do is show-off... take my words... who ever works diligently will not grow here... who ever show off and pretend that they are doing something will grow... you don't have to complete what you have started but you just need to do it in a fancy way that's it...no quality required or no definition of done...if you do this way, you are favorite to your manager.. why? because manager can show off this to their upper level... (4) no proper direction for the management and no body cares about the customer in the ecommerce team...everyone codes but no one troubleshoots :)

Great place to work but lacks job security

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart and talented people doing amazing work. Most people really care about the customer. Great benefits. Six week paid sabbatical every four years.

Cons

Depending on the org you're in, it can be very political. There is a lot of lip-service paid to "breaking down silos" but that rarely happens. Frequent reorgs leave you with the sense that you aren't really safe from being laid off, no matter how well you do your job. Exceptionally talented people are often let go with no explanation except, "it was a business decision". It happens often enough that you really can't relax and trust that your position is safe, no matter how well you perform. Older workers and people who work remotely are usually the first targets in a reorg.
