Pros

Top level management have the right ideas Nice perks at HQ, free food and great vibe with colleagues

Cons

+1 on other reviews about middle management, totally here to coast and do minimal work. They will go against the company direction for their own agenda. Communication is often silo'd to create hostility. Two rounds of lay offs mean co-workers are watching their backs and burning out, poor middle managers prey on this vulnerability.

Most toxic place I've worked

Pros

Cool brand, free stuff at the office in Scotts Valley. CEO seems like a nice guy and cares.

Cons

Innovation has died. Internal culture of a meeting for everything, they can go on for hours with no agenda and no takeaways! Middle managers don't delegate anything and don't realise the talent they have within the company. Needs big changes to grow again - company doesn't like talking about its failures internally.
