Lattice
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
The Leadership team and everyone here really cares about one another. This is something you can feel even over Zoom during an All-Hands Meeting. I don't think I have ever worked anywhere where employees are as motivated and genuinely pumped to be at a company. The level of camaraderie, celebrating each other's wins and transparency without sugar coating makes this a psychologically and emotionally safe place. You are not made to feel like you're replaceable and they truly hire those that align to their values but also bring their own superpowers.

I genuinely look forward to waking up every day to go to work! I have so much fun at Fivetran. Even the little things like playing music at the beginning of each all-hands gets everyone amped up. And I love that we introduce new folks at every all-hands. It really creates a welcoming-feel, and our all-hands slack channel blows up every time in welcome messages as well as kudos for presenters.

salesforce.com
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
Salesforce has always been leading the charge when it comes to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals. They really encourage and support each person to act as individuals and are open to feedback about how the organization can progressively embrace everyone. Specifically, a year ago I pointed out that the fertility benefit was unfair, benefiting cis-gendered straight-women and families. Salesforce reviewed this policy and made it more equitable as we kicked off the new year. This is a company that I want to be a part of. A company that encourages every employee to speak-up, and then listens and adjusts policy based on employee feedback.

Workato has an executive team that never hesitates to roll up their own sleeves and help others achieve projects that contribute to the company's greater mission, and this is also instilled/felt from other leaders not just the executive team. Workato highly values experimentation and freedom of expression in work that allows us to make mistakes and more importantly succeed fast. Additionally, the growth opportunities here are massive.

Front
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
Everyone is very genuine/welcoming. When I started, I was really excited. They sent me special gifts & having everyone individually reached out to me sharing their own excitement made it one of the most welcoming experiences I've ever had. If someone is considering other opportunities, our leadership team jump right in, they talk 1:1 for areas of concern & offer up their help & support. A colleague's apartment caught fire while she was on her honeymoon, the company made a heartfelt video sharing their love & support and arranged a GoFundMe to help them get back on their feet. These times stuck with me the most! I'm proud to work for a company whose mission is to Make Work Happier, our focus on work-life balance has been there since Day1.

Intuit Inc.
- Information Technology
- Mountain View, CA, US
What employees are saying
Intuit actually listens to employees on the front lines and changes policies, procedures, and tools to help them do their jobs better and serve the customers better. I've never worked for a company that is so quick to change and adapt based on the needs of the employees like Intuit does. It makes the employees feel they have a voice and empowers us to take ownership over our job and gives us a stake in the company's overall direction. These things make this huge company feel small and friendly which I think makes Intuit a great place to work. I'm extremely proud to say I work for such an amazing company!

Demandbase

- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
I am a 26-year-old SDR that moved jobs 3 times before/after college because I always found myself not given tools to succeed, didn't think my boss was respectful. I LOVE DEMANDBASE. I am given a competitive base and commission with a management team that is so supportive. I also told someone the other day, "I love working here, we have it so good." The management team is so supportive, fun, and friendly that it rubs off on co-workers and I feel like I am friends with my team and managers. I like the team and company so much that I am willing to work as hard as possible, to benefit all of us.

What employees are saying
The founders/managers are franker and more transparent than at any other company or institution where I've worked. They hide nothing from us, and they consider us as equal partners and take our suggestions to heart or tell us clearly and logically why they can't or won't.

Cadence
- Information Technology
- San Jose, CA, US
What employees are saying
I feel valued and trusted by my direct manager (and her direct manager) both through their words and actions. Through their communications, I have the utmost confidence that our executive management team genuinely cares for employees. Given the climate of social justice in the world, hearing directly from our CEO that we celebrate diversity and inclusion and must take a stand against racism gives me great pride. The extra global recharge days are much needed and much appreciated. I recharge not only through the time off, but by the mental boost that comes from knowing that our mental wellbeing is of value.

Curology
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
Employees are trusted and given autonomy in the work they do. First I was an intern, then as my first post-college job. Being a woman and the youngest person on the team (things that are often looked down upon), I never felt like my voice or skill was valued any less than others. People here care what I think. I think this has been the most unique thing about the company. At other companies, I've felt I've had to prove my worth in a way before I was given bigger projects to work on. At Curology, they hire those they trust, and I've learned to value this approach much more than employees proving themselves. People's accomplishments are also celebrated via Slack messages to the whole company or announcements in team-wide meetings.

Kimpton has its own unique culture, which is hard to put into words. We jokingly call it the "Kimpton Kool-Aid" because it is just this awesome feeling of excitement/belonging/empowerment the engulfs you when you are in it. I have worked here for 8 years, at various locations in various positions, and its always followed me wherever I went.

Opendoor Technologies Inc.
- Real Estate
- San Francisco , CA, US
What employees are saying
Management encourages us to take ownership and be 1% better every day and they continuously repeat and reinforce this meaning at every All-Hands meeting, which I appreciate. Opendoor also has a strong People of Color - ERG group and they set forth initiatives to address anti-racism, community outreach, and employee support where needed. I've worked at many other companies and none of them had a strong ERG like Opendoor.

It's a place where everyone is happy to work here and to work with each other. That's a function of management doing a great job of hiring talented, collegial employees, and valuing maintaining a happy, healthy, friendly work environment. Management is very tech-savvy and the firm provides numerous opportunities to train on new technologies. The firm is extremely flexible as to employee's work/family life balance.

What employees are saying
Keysight consistently and continuously acts in ways that reinforce its commitments to its workforce, demonstrating that it recognizes employees as people, not just workers. For example, the executive team didn't just spout platitudes about diversity and inclusion last year during the BLM and MeToo events, they made concrete changes, including criteria for measuring progress. Our CEO sent out a clear and direct memo to everyone outlining the plans and accountability measures, with no "wiggle words" or hedging.

Atlassian, Inc.

Sequoia Equities Inc
- Real Estate
- Walnut Creek, CA, US
What employees are saying
The fact that they are ready and able to change the game every day, week, month, or year to make things better for the employees or our customers is amazing. Local emergencies like fires where thousands of locals lost their homes and within days they had programs set up to greatly benefit the people in need and set us up quickly with programs to easily and seamlessly assist them was amazing. Same with this global pandemic. They rolled out amazing programs to help our current customers, our future customers, and us employees to keep everyone safe, happy, with a roof over their head. Nothing seems too difficult for them to handle quickly and efficiently.

The breadth of opportunities is really large. A lot of engineers often say that in 1 year here, they grew more than they had when they spent 2-4 years at their previous job.

Chime puts a lot of resources into our CRGS ("Chimer" resource groups). I created a new CRG in 2021 and had a lot of support from executive management and the entire Chime community. I got recognition for my work and Chime compensates the leaders of our CRGs, which I don't know a lot of other companies do. I am also especially thankful for our wonderful benefits.

Genentech
- Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals
- South San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
I have been very impressed in the last year with the Diversity & Inclusion efforts that are becoming embedded into the company's identity. I am impressed that our senior executive leaders are not afraid to speak up and take a stance on issues of racial equality and makes their position clear to everyone both internally and externally. I am proud to work for a company that not only embraces D&I, but actively seeks ways to create a culture and environment where everyone is welcomed and made to feel as though they belong, despite their race, gender, creed, or sexual orientation.

ServiceNow
- Information Technology
- Santa Clara, CA, US
What employees are saying
The company has gone above and beyond in creating a sense of community and connectedness, even as we've hired a huge amount of people during this time of remote work. So many events, happy hours, life event celebrations, and opportunities to highlight our personalities and show off what we're proud of in our personal life. The company has also provided a wellness stipend to subsidize spending on fitness/wellness and tech/office devices to keep us productive. I also find that managers encourage their teams to take time off and respect PTO, which I greatly appreciate.

Figma
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
I feel like Figma is the best company people are only still finding out about from a candidate perspective. This company cares so deeply about their people, a sense of inclusion and belonging, mental wellbeing, and overall satisfaction in the workplace. It's a real privilege to work here. When I share with candidates that we have a benefit like Modern Health, and we publicly block time for therapy on our calendars, the candidate's whole heart opens up, truly blown away by the fact that we encourage and recognize how important this is.

Gong
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
Insane amount of transparency and open communication at all levels. I have confidence and comfort in speaking to leaders and executives that I've never had anywhere else. Our company goes above and beyond to champion our operating principles and ACTUALLY works. For instance, we have weekly team calls/update emails, company-wide calls to celebrate promotions, big sales, etc. "Win as a Team" one of our operations principles. Gong truly loves EVERYONE. We have employee resource groups (ERGs) that are given a platform and are active in our work community, educating and partnering with internal Gongsters. Being a single mom, I have personal experience that this company puts family first and values work/life balance.

Afresh Technologies
- Other
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
Management is phenomenally transparent and honest. Everything and everyone is an open book, employees are encouraged to ask questions. I asked a lot of questions during my two weeks of onboarding meetings, and all were answered in detail. There are zero barriers between the CEO and employees. No one is too important to talk. Management promotes work-life balance, which the CEO prefers to call work-life "boundary". PTO is unmonitored and unlimited, and incredibly flexible. My manager said ski season is coming up and asked if I wanted to adjust my regular working hours and days so I could ski on weekday mornings. He knows this makes me happy and productive during work hours, and the company have my loyalty for this reason!

Asana
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
The level of transparency behind decisions and business metrics is fantastic. I also find our executives more approachable and human than anywhere I've worked before, including other tech companies. I also believe we have an aspirational but not unachievable mission, which inspires us. I highly value our CEO and other C-level executives' focus on the long-term over the short-term, even though we are now a public company with quarterly reporting beholden to our shareholders.

Turo Inc.
- Transportation
- San Francisco, CA, CA, US
What employees are saying
Family-feel, supportive and collaborative culture unlike any I have ever experienced at another company. I can count on any colleague from any department (regardless of whether I've interacted with them previously) to immediately assist me when a need comes up or I have to wade into an unfamiliar area. Examples: while supporting my direct report in the beginning of the green card process, rather than just answer the initial question I posed, a coworker spontaneously jumped on a call with me to give me an in-depth understanding of the entire process, pitfalls to be aware of, tips & tricks that I could pass along to my engineer.

Databricks
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
I've never worked at a place where the CEO is so open! He shares details about the company and his personal life, his opinions and today’s issues. He connects with people at a personal level and you can tell he truly enjoys doing so and values all individuals. One of our core values is to "be data driven"; we take surveys to get employee opinions on a range of topics from our mental and physical well-being, our comfort in the workplace, how we feel about racial equality, pay equality. That data is then compiled and presented at the highest level, and they create actionable plans for anything that is lacking AND FOLLOW THROUGH with implementing and tracking progress on them. It makes me proud to work here.

Block
- Financial Services & Insurance
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
Management is generally very transparent and makes a good faith effort to address any employee concerns. The most unique aspect is how open they are with providing safe spaces to discuss cultural or political events that impact people's lives outside of work. They understand that it's sometimes unreasonable to expect people to compartmentalize their emotional or personal selves and leave that at home, and are willing to have difficult conversations about a variety of issues.

Anchorage
- Financial Services & Insurance
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
People work extremely hard here and there is recognition that people (especially those with children) need to balance their work lives with their personal lives. Management realized that people were working even longer hours, so we developed a program where one day a month you can take an "Anchoring Day" in addition to your regular paid leave. All employees are strongly encouraged to take their Anchoring Day, and management has done so as well to set the right example.

- Palo Alto, CA, US
What employees are saying
I am so #HPproud to work for this company. The incredible focus on our wellbeing, health, supporting us parents and more. Times when outside felt unsafe, HP made working from home or office safe and enjoyable. Our leadership team has evolved a bit this year and we've been communicated with every step of the way. We received communication from our CEO nearly every week that is transparent and showcases our values. There’s many opportunities to connect with our leadership team our "Connect with Enrique(CEO)" sessions. Communication is open for employees to get answers and provide feedback. Our leaders acknowledged our efforts and gave fulltime employees a one-time "Thank you" bonus and a subsidy to improve our home office equipment.

Marqeta, Inc.
- Financial Services & Insurance
- Oakland, CA, US
What employees are saying
Marqeta provides unique opportunities for cross collaboration with other departments. As the department grew, I had many opportunities to collaborate directly with product engineers, engineers, teams who have relationships with banks, business development, and many more organizations within the company. I don't think there are many opportunities in other companies to collaborate at that level. The best part was that I see what my contributions lead to, whether it was development with a UI, a way to build out a product the company was offering, or an opportunity to provide input to strategic partner. You feel like you made a difference and when you step back, you can say" I contributed to that success" which is extremely gratifying.

Twilio Inc.
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
Our benefits package is really incredible. I now have access to fertility support without having to qualify. At previous companies, as a 'woman without access to certain things', I had to provide proof of medicated IUI attempts prior to gaining access to the company's infertility benefits. At Twilio, everyone gets access which feels so much more inclusive and I haven't had to fight insurance to get support. This has been a game changer for my family. And feels really unique to Twilio.

Motive
- Information Technology
- San Francisco , CA, US
What employees are saying
I was assigned a buddy/mentor immediately upon starting, who was very active. Any meeting I attended where someone didn't know me offered a "Welcome to KT! Glad you're here" message even after the first month of meetings (other places treated me with 'if you cannot do something for me, I do not care about you). The 90-Day onboarding checklist was a helpful aggregation of what I needed to know/do without having to ask. I'm automatically included in invites to events like meditation, cooking, KT Proud, and wellness (other workplaces if you weren't invited and, weren't offered such events, or didn't know of them). The day-1 onboarding process and team is AWESOME!

Loom
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
We have an awesome culture. There's transparency in what management does that I really appreciate as not many companies would be that transparent when making announcements. From taking a stance on what's going on in the community, to letting us take time to vote and letting the team know about departures. I truly believe Loom cares about our well being and making sure we're aware of what's going on. We also have a cultural values channel where our team members can shout out other team members for all the great work that's done. There's always a shoutout at least once a day which is truly amazing as we're able to recognize our employees.

HashiCorp Inc
- Information Technology
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
HashiCorp is one of the few companies I've worked for that actually takes its principles seriously. I see hiring decisions made in the context of those principles, performance is often measured against those principles, and I've even seen people let go when they clash with the more inclusively-minded principles. For most, the mission statement is some words on a wall. HashiCorp lives its values.

Honestly, I love that we have a dog friendly campus. Having fur babies here always bring a smile to my face especially when people take pictures and share it to our dog channel on Slack. On a more serious note, having so many female POC coworkers in managerial positions of all levels in this company makes me proud to have such a truly diverse staff (especially in upper management). This makes me feel like I'm part of a company that sees me.

The amount of special "programming" that we have company-wide. whether it be events for AAPI heritage month, black history month, pride month, or even events around Earth Day, it seems like every few weeks there's a fun company-wide event that you can take part of and get to meet more of your co-workers and learn something too. As a fully remote employee this is a fun way of staying connected with my colleagues.

The glue that holds us all together is our passion for enriching lives through second home ownership, and our values serve as the operating principles by which we accomplish that. We start every company meeting by reciting our mission and end it with shoutouts to other crew members. Our executive team is so visibly and operationally committed to diversity, equity and belonging and participate in every initiative under this umbrella. The level of transparency that our CEO and leadership team brings to the organization is so helpful and valuable. Pacaso is a once in a lifetime rocketship to be on, and I feel so lucky and honored to be here.

MURAL
- Information Technology

What employees are saying
The benefits we offer are unique/truly a response to many of the things employees desire. The new learning and development stipend, the 401k company match, etc. are all responses to employees voicing that these benefits are important to them. We’re encouraged to "Experiment like an Owner”, "Play to Wow”, and "Adapt to Thrive". Three of our five values. We try thinking about new ways of thinking, getting things done and adapting the processes and procedures when needed. This flexibility, and being able to try new things, makes me feel like I'm encouraged to grow and make mistakes to figure out what works best. I'm thankful to work in an environment where I'm encouraged to experiment, and not be fearful that it could lead me to being fired.

What employees are saying
The passion, drive, and dedication to our customers and each other are unmatched. pMD recognizes its people are its biggest asset. I've worked for several other companies, and I can unequivocally say that none of them cared as much about their employees as pMD does. Plus, the benefits and perks are phenomenal. What other company offers to pay for its employees (who want it) to get their pilot's license or takes all of their employees (and their plus one) to a tropical island vacation for hitting an EOY growth goal? The answer: pMD!

What employees are saying
I've been at a few companies, and I can honestly say this is one of the best work environments I've been a part of. People are empowered to do great work. They take responses from their engagement surveys seriously- we implemented Summer/Fall Fridays once a month to give people more time off to help them balance work and life. There are family planning services for both sexes. No one here dreads going to work. Our annual retreat/offsite includes the entire company and not just leadership. Everyone is involved in helping create the future of Alpine.

My company encourages people to express their thoughts and present their voice, no matter which level you are in the company. We can see this through our all-hands meeting, which always starts with employees asking questions (things employees care about and what they want to know) instead of purely thoughts from the leadership team.

The people are truly exceptional at RTI. Everyone is so extremely kind, helpful and welcoming. It's only been a couple of months since I have started at RTI but I already feel like I am at home. Management also goes above and beyond to make sure you are highlighted for your accomplishments. At our company kick-off, they conducted a surprising graduation ceremony for all of the 2020 graduates and I thought that was so extremely thoughtful and fun. Considering how I never got a proper graduation ceremony, this was honestly the best thing that happened that allowed me to celebrate that accomplishment!

Pinger treats you like a member of their own family and you are viewed as something more than just an employee, they care about you as a person and look out for your well being. Even though I have been working remotely, Pinger has still made me feel fully incorporated even though I am not in the office.

Affinity

What employees are saying
I have never worked for a company that provided such a thoughtful or comprehensive onboarding—a full week dedicated to learning about the market, the customers, the product, the company, and providing time to get to know the other new hires in your class as onboarding buddies. There is a real focus on career growth with consultants brought in for regular career development trainings, and clear career pathing. Cross-team collaboration is some of the best I've ever experienced. The executive team truly seems aligned. Our founders take the time to get to know everyone, they thank every presenter at every all hands and "what's new" meeting both publicly and privately after, they are truly the nicest people I've ever worked for!

Branch's interview process is extremely thorough. The leaders here are looking for people who want to get after it, be challenged, but more importantly they're looking for authenticity. Even without being together physically, I felt a part of the team. They encourage creativity and embrace failure as necessary for success, which makes it less daunting to trust your gut and be actionable. The Executives are approachable and make sure to keep employees at every level and in every department involved/informed of what's going on at the highest level and where the company is going. This is honestly a dream company that makes sure to walk the walk rather than just to appear to be.

I feel a connection to the team and the company, I appreciate that they recognize individual contributions and host activities to bring us together remotely. The leadership are genuinely good people. I've had prior working experience that were do as I say not as I do. But at least in my team, it’s a joint effort. When we have companywide holidays, my team leader makes a point to note that they want us to disconnect for the day. To spend it on non-work activities. They are supportive about balancing families and reaching out if overwhelmed without judgement.

What employees are saying
The people here genuinely care. I honestly have been surprised again and again how open even exec level employees are for a quick chat about a project, or to help with something you need, and to always think in the best interest of our members. In financial companies in particular that is something that you see/hear is true during the interview process but then once you start in your role things work differently, and the bottom line truly is the winner every time. I do not feel that way here, and it feels amazing!

Everyone is genuinely working towards the same goals and objectives.

Calix absolutely has that, and it shows in the impact we are able to make for our customers every day. There is a tremendous amount of pride I have in the work that I do (and I think in general employees feel that way).

When it's time to put our heads down and work, we do. We don't shy away from celebrating victories, both big and small. I just finished working on a project with our Finance team. We needed to implement many different checkpoints in our payment process. We both came to the table with ideas and were so productive, and then got a chance to sit back and admire our work before taking on new projects. It's so rewarding to be able to see your work have an immediate impact.

As someone who is the majority in the US, it was eye-opening in many ways, and I feel closer to my peers as a result. Nova also has a few ERGs which I find impressive given how small the company is!

Executives provide a lot of autonomy to managers and individual contributors, which allows everyone feel like they can make a difference at Divvy. We are a much larger company now; however, leaders at Divvy still expect and trust employees to push the company forward and value action. Customers: Divvy goes above and beyond. I have seen Divvy go above and beyond for customers for their wellbeing. We had customers, who had one member of their family in a wheelchair. Divvy employees found this out when we were inspecting a home and realized that the home did not have wheelchair access to the front door. When Divvy purchased the home, at Divvy's expense, a wheelchair ramp was built to the front door. There are many stories like this.
