Pros

Family like environment Allowed for teleworking depending on your department Separate PTO from sick leave

Cons

Only TWO weeks of maternity. I had a c-section and wasn’t recovered in time and paid the price for it. Always always always get short-term and long-term disability if you decide to work at a company like this, or else you will be on the job hunt after 2 weeks of having a baby. When I found out I was pregnant, my manager asked “are you sure that’s a good idea?”

Pros

- You can wear what you want. - You can occasionally get game tickets. - Insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision) benefits are good. The company pays a huge portion of the cost. - The clients of the company are well known and will reflect well on a resume. - Monthly birthday celebration which includes a ‘happy hour’. You also get a birthday holiday day to use. - Work from home, occasionally, policy until the construction of the new office is complete. (See cons) - The company allows you to bring your dog, which is fantastic if you have dog(s), but also annoying for those that don’t want dogs in the work space.

Cons

- Only 10 PTO days until you reach 4 years then it increases some. This is not up to date with the norm for the Bay Area. - Several employees seem to complain about other employees and/or different areas of work. - I’ve witnessed several people that were on vacation be called and expected to work while on vacation. - Management decided to purchase a building and do a complete gut and remodel. This would be fantastic if they had went about the working space for the mean time a different way. Employees were working out of a WeWork space that was too small so several people had to work from home. Management then decided to move the employees to a temporary space into the new building that was very raw, disorganized, and dis-functioning. - Lack of care by management. - Several people seem overwhelmed, stressed, and over worked. This just gets overlooked and never addressed.

Pros

The CWE was a cool spot to work...that was about it

Cons

My team was awful. They made me work 60+ hours a week for less than 40k a year. Absolutely NOT acceptable. They ran around like the world was on fire. It's ADVERTISING. I never felt motivated by my team. When I asked questions I was told to "figure it out" because I asked too many questions. My team was extremely cliquey and did not explain things to me at all. They expected me to just "get it" after being explained something once. When you're new, NO ONE is going to pick up on 100% and will need things to be explained a couple times before it clicks. The entire office was rewarded with pizza and every now and then in order to get morale high...LOL. They rely most of their business on 1 account. If they ever lose it, then the doors will be closed.
