Pros
Much of what the other reviewers say is true. CEO is a strategic thinker, good at raising money, and has a great sense of humor. And there are some really nice/fun/intelligent/capable coworkers, including professionals from across disciplines, plus nice doctors on staff. The products’ technology and the work involved tend to be interesting. And don’t forget the social environment.
Cons
The company has a poor financial history (ask them how many millions they raised, spent, and earned), highly politicized environment, some questionable promotion choices, no visible raises or even performance reviews, weak management, and then there is the erratic CEO who puts employees up on a pedestal only to later cast them aside. Bottom line: despite the pluses, this employer’s instability and minefield of politics make it too risky. There are so many tech. companies in the Bay Area that surely you can find a better company to work for.
