Pros

Interesting day to day work, fine coworkers, last minute travel opportunities

Cons

They value their company friends and longtime colleagues or former trip leaders, cult-like. Uneven workloads. Random firings. They require you to pay for all your own travel and are not transparent regarding salary and pay bands. They always share “you should be so grateful to work here,” though do not treat employees well at all. Or fairly across different departments. Turnover is very high.

Pros

I find that its a great workplace where folks are encouraged to speak up, take initiative, and problem solve together. I think it reflects well that there are many tenured people at the company.

Cons

There are many systems that do not always seamlessly work together so it can take extra effort to find the resources that exist & high cost of living in Bay Area can be challenging to keep up with.
