Pros

Easy to get to from BART, ACE, etc... Last mile pick up options using Uber in Kato Road location. Dynamic people, always smiling, hard driven company (good thing). If you like to be part of a rapidly growing acquisitive company - join us!

Cons

Not much other than not for the faint hearted. If you like to be lazy then work at a company that is 8-5. This company makes a difference. Work Life is skewed on work. benefits cost the norm for industry.

Pros

Since the company is big, it's a great opportunity for networking, learning new skills, and earning certificates after completing hazard safety training that you can use in the future as well (especially if you're working with Unity Lab Services). Coworkers are usually nice and will always lend a hand if you need it. If you're lucky, you might be placed at a one-person site where the site supervisor is chill and understanding, lets you work at your own pace, and helps you learn new things by giving you "side quests."

Cons

No real career growth. The workload can be hard to keep up with at times, and the company strictly enforces an 8-hour workday with no overtime, even when needed. Day-to-day operations feel heavily micromanaged by upper management through strict policies. HR introduces new policies almost monthly, often adding tasks that feel unnecessary. They frame this as becoming "more data-driven," but in practice, it hasn't led to much noticeable improvement.
