Pros

- Very smart and kind coworkers - Super interesting challenges on the engineering side (not saying that it's not interesting elsewhere - just don't know) - Lots of mentorship - Lots of ownership. When you get a project you get to design it, plan it, build it, and ship it, and you understand how it fits with the overall system. But don't let this scare you. This was my first real job, and I got plenty of support when I didn't know how to do something. Also I don't mean to imply that you do it all yourself - you do often work on teams, it's just that you never feel like you're just doing a tiny section of a project. - Very flat structure. Leadership is super chill and they listen to anyone who has an idea. When I first started here it was about 15 people and I spent a lot of time talking with the CEO (who is an amazing guy). Now that it's bigger (around 60 ppl) you obviously won't be spending an hour a day with him, but all the leadership is very available. - They work with you on your career goals. I've told them about my long term plans and they have helped me develop the skills that I want to earn at this phase of my career. - Great work / life balance. I usually work about 40 hours a week. There's unlimited vacation and I took about 20 days last year. I work from home at least a day a week. Basically if you get your work done, you're good. - Really accommodating and reasonable about personal stuff. I've had health stuff (insomnia) come up and cause me to be late to work or just be tired during the day and my boss (the CTO at the time - I only mention that to show that this attitude goes to the top) was extremely nice about it. Basically the message was always for me to put my health first. - Very competitive comp, both in terms of salary and equity. I regularly recommend this place STRONGLY to my close friends. And I would do so even if there weren't a recruiting bonus ;). It really is the best job I've ever had and I'm so happy I landed here.

Cons

- Fewer of the crazy benefits that you get at a big tech company. Personally I don't think that stuff matters too much, but some people do.

Pros

There are so many great things about Beeswax. The people are amazing and the least arrogant people you could work with starting from the CEO all the way to the newest employee. Transparency at a startup can be non-existent at times, but not at Beeswax. All hands serve a purpose and keep every employee in the loop even if it doesn't directly effect them. The cofounders are extremely smart individuals who take the time to get to know each employee and have no problem sitting down and having a chat with you regardless of who you are. The culture is fantastic and the office is huge. Plenty of room to continue growing. They appreciate each employee and it shows in their offers.

Cons

The only con I could think of is food. Lunch isn't per diem and the snacks are ok. But it's not that bad.
