Pros

Great office, great but overall standard tech perks

Cons

Completely disorganized when it comes to senior management CTO was still technically an engineer vs management role They had an office in Israel that no one heard much from until one of the managers came to Denver. He was incredibly sexist, demanding, and seemed to have the final say in everything. I was hired to report directly to the CTO, upon his arrival he demanded I report to him and I was directly I told if I do not feel "comfortable" with that I will continue to report to the CTO. I said it makes more sense for me to report to CTO considering I am a Scrum Master and work with the engineering team here in Denver and do not know the person who just flew in and am not aware of his role. All I knew that he was on the Product side. He made completely inappropriate sexual comments to me during a one on one but I did not even say anything about that. The CTO told me he is completely happy for me to continue to report to him. 2 days later I was called into a small office with the HR person and the CTO. They told me I was being let go and asked for me to hand everything over and that by law in Colorado they do not have to tell me why they are letting me go. Really? I am pretty sure I knew why.

Pros

AppThis has been my high water mark for great places to work. The team works really well together and shares creativity and responsibility better than any other place I have worked. There is no celebration of position hierarchy or rank instead everyone is accessible and the idea is to get everyone and the company elevated. A large part of this might be due to great motivators and competent people all the way up. Great benefits health and flexibility and a wheel barrel full of vacation time.

Cons

I don't feel this is much of a con, however If you have not worked for a startup before, you need to be ready to find your own and onboard yourself. If you are not prepared to come in ready to crush it you may not fit.
