Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people. Good locations. Office space in San Jose.

Cons

Cubical in SF office. Management doesn't know what to do, followers not leaders. HR would push you to quit if they can, yes, I took some time off because of family issue, when I came back, I was pushed to quit. Happy to leave.
