Pros

- Amazing challenges and huge opportunity to build solutions that scale. - Great management which has a vision and direction for the company - Work/Life balance is excellent; the company is very family focused. - If you're a high contributor, near unlimited potential for opportunities and promotions. Lots of opportunity to get promoted, or move to other teams. - Large deployment of scrum/agile has yielded a workplace with low interruptions and a high focus on delivering products. - Low politics for a company of this size - Pleasanton campus is really growing, up to 5 or 6 building at the time of this review. It's a great (physical location) place to work! We offer bikes to get around campus, and to the Stoneridge mall!

Cons

- Relationship focused, you really need to connect with others to make the most of your time working here. If you don't do well connecting with others or working in teams, your mileage may vary. - Parking on campus can be difficult, if you come in after 10am.
