Pros

- Management team that truly cares about the happiness of employees - Surrounded by bright, hard working and motivated people. - Very flexible work environment. Mentality is come in, get your work done, and leave. Managers never expect their people do be at their desks just for face time. - People are encouraged to think outside of the box and if there is a better way to do something you are encouraged to speak up and recommend/implement change. You never hear anyone say "well that's how we've always done it so we can't change"

Cons

- Company is growing very quickly and is in scale up mode. Always a lot to do, pace can be very hectic and you have to expect and be comfortable with constant change. This kind of environment definitely isn't for everyone. - There is a decent amount of "group think" on various topics given the young demographic of employees and the company's front line leaders. If you don't feel the same way about certain topics there is a tendency for the "group" to dismiss your opinion - you'll need to be comfortable speaking up and challenging people if you want your voice to be heard and you're not aligned with the vocal few that are passionate about the topic at hand.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
