Pros
Everyone will tell you what you want to hear and sound like they mean it. Close to CalTrain
Kontras
It's in Burlingame, CA.
You will be promised things in the interview that will not be true.
You will be "oversold" the position (their words - not mine) so if it's too good to be true-- it's probably not true.
The break room is pitiful.
The on-boarding process was relentless and they made me feel bad about expecting things to be set up before I started.
They have a "that's just the way it is" kind of attitude.
They are a benefits company that won't even invest in a 401k option for the U.S. team or even other mainstream benefit packages (gym, lunches, etc).
The office has barely any sunlight.
Getting reimbursed for expenses (flights, phone, phone bill) takes way too long.
It took them more than 3 weeks to get my insurance set up.
The main office is in London (which you may never even get to see like they promise you) and it is difficult to communicate with anyone there about important matters.
It took them more than 3 weeks to get me a proper power cord for my laptop.
You HAVE to use a Dell Laptop.
They won't invest in you until you fully invest in them.
They treat you as though you should be lucky to work for them instead of them being lucky to have you working there.
