Pros
Not many. Tacos on Friday, bagels on Tuesday... snacks in the fridge...
Cons
20 year old “startup.” At some point you realize it’s not a startup anymore, it’s a failed company living off VC scraps. A million “directors” and “Vice Presidents” in a company of 100 employees. Dead industry. Cable companies are losing millions of subscribers every quarter and this company’s future is tied to the success of the regional cable companies... If you’re hourly, don’t work overtime. You won’t get paid. If you want work life balance, don’t look for it here. Major incidents every single day, on call personnel might as well just stay in the office. H1B visa abuse, flat out. UC Berkeley right down the street, but developer hires come from H1B visas. Illegal.
