Pros

Company actually makes product decisions based on what's best for customers. Decision making is based around rational arguments (usually written docs). People actually follow the leadership principles instead of making decisions based on personal biases.

Cons

Have to move to Seattle to be in main office. Be in SLU is nice, but if you want to drive you'll have to join a waitlist for a company parking spot.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
