Pluspunten
Good location because i lived very close to the office. Safe walk from Bart. Some people were fantastic but mostly other newer employees. Certain parts of the company that really have the described culture.
Minpunten
Beware if management chain from Peoplesoft or the startup. Your manager may not know how to lead and manage, if that matters to you. The people from the startup years seem to exclude newer employees. The former Peoplesoft people also are their own clique. Its like the cool kids, the sort of cool kids, and everyone trying to be the cool kids. Other employees from my new hire group expressed this concern to me after hire. They described it like high school. Your manager may be very technically competent but an incompetent manager of people, promoted just because they were from startup. If experienced, be prepared to work with less experienced management. After a year some are looked down upon, still don't know anything. In some groups don't expect much training. You must figure out almost everything on your own. It get worse, not better, over time, so left company. Don't expect a clear career progression. Watch out for management that are their to protect themselves. This is a very me first culture.
