Pros

Many of the employees including myself come from very large and well known companies and are tired of the large corporate structure where you just feel like a cog in the wheel. Here you see people who are passionate about their jobs, have fun and want to make a difference in the community. There is very low turn over at headquarters so 15 - 30 years of service is normal. All areas of the company are upgrading and modernizing. The management wants everyone to work smarter not harder. The new headquarters in Emeryville is fantastic and I love the gym and subsidized lunches. They even bring in outside corporate fitness programs just so you have variety. This is a family oriented company that does not discourage family members working in the same office. In this company you hit the ground running.

Cons

The company is growing so fast that space is always an issue. They could use more variety in work schedules for employee work life balance. 40 hours, 5 days a week is the norm here.
