Pendo | $80,000 - $100,000
Steph's Notes:
The job description overall seems fine, but the pay is piddly for an onsite role in San Francisco, especially for a technical role asking for a BS in Computer Science and 1+ year of professional experience in JavaScript, HTML, CSS and/or Mobile Development. It's low enough, in fact, that I'm putting it in Tread Carefully.

Read this bit first
Comments on a job listing are public, and the company can read them. If you work there now, or you're mid-process with them, post under a name they wouldn't recognise. It takes ten seconds and nobody here will think less of you for it.
One ask on how you write it: stick to what happened to you. My manager told me the on-call rota was optional lands harder than this company lies to candidates — and it's a lot harder to argue with.
