- Massive retention issues and low gross pay that are incompatible to living comfortably in the Bay area.
- Long work hours and concurrently low hourly wages. More recently, they seem to be having issues attracting strong talent meaning that competent analysts bear a disproportionate burden of work.
- Turf wars among upper management seem common. This can make for a fairly toxic environment with a lot of back biting that make for lots of negative interactions for junior analysts.
- Poor management and lack of communication. Managers always seem to be on the defensive, sometimes for no explicable reason.
- Employees are viewed as disposable, no matter how long they've worked at the company or what they've done for it.
- Lots of unhappy employees, which makes for a demotivating environment overall. This is not surprising given the issues outlined above.
- None of these issues are unique to my perspective and have been documented by multiple parties over several years. Take them seriously if you are considering working at the company. Ultimately, the cons outweigh the pros and that does not bode well for the company.
