Pros

- Very relaxed, collaborative at the team level - Possibility to legitimately make a positive difference to the world - Delicious lunch 3 times a week - Happy hour is great

Cons

- Completely substandard salary - Very expensive health insurance - Very low (legal minimum I believe) PTO allowance - Laser focus on single customer who is quite clearly just stringing the company along - Complete lack of trust towards the team with respect to WFH etc. - Sick days eat into PTO rather then allowing for weekend work to adjust - The concept of raises/promotions does not exist

Pros

Work: My role was in sales ops so I acquired several new analytical and reporting skills throughout my internship. I also learned a ton of info about the pharma industry which I thought was quite interesting. My manager was very nice and always made time at least once a week to see how I was doing. I especially appreciated how he assigned me projects that were not only useful for the company but also aligned to my specific career interests. Culture: Diverse company full of great people to work with. I think goBalto does a great job hiring considering everybody I met were not only smart but also very friendly and social. All my coworkers made me feel comfortable asking for any assistance and/or clarification. And quick shout-out to my lunch buddies! I already miss you guys. Location: goBalto is a 3 min walk from Powell bart station, and is walking distance to a countless number of delicious eateries. However, eating out in SF can add up quickly, which is why I sincerely appreciated goBalto for catering lunch three times a week and fully stocking the break room with fruits and other goodies. Overall, goBalto is doing a great job at creating an enjoyable work hard, play hard work environment. I learned a ton of great information and thoroughly enjoyed my summer internship. Thanks goBalto!!
