Decent Starter Job

Pros

Lots of opportunity to grow because everyone around you is learning as well. They love hiring recent college grads from the top schools and there's a different promotion track for this group. As such, the culture feels like a college social setting. Free sodas, shuttles from different parts of the Bay Area and free parking in the garage.

Cons

Spent over 10 years in the San Bruno office and remember leadership having empathy for work/life balance. Within the last 2 years, this has eroded. It's typical to work through lunch and have lunch meetings especially during the top of the week and during Q4. Because business direction usually comes out of the Jet offices in Hoboken NJ, the East Coast work mentality is very strong. Lack of diversity (female/people of color) in upper management. There are no free lunches or snacks.

Pros

Good office location (right off the freeway, quick shuttle to BART and close to S.F.). Pleasant office environment and good benefits.

Cons

Very political. Some departments/teams are saddled with bad managers. There's a reason most job postings don't list a department/category. Also, it's a big company, so things move at a glacial pace.

They have excellent benefits

Cons

They force you to work the holiday season even if you can't and if you don't show up they write you up
