Pros

The unusually high retention rate shows what it's like to work here - great people, a lot of autonomy, a lot of attention paid to making sure employees are content, a respectful and/or common sense approach to a lot of decisions, great work/life balance. Also a great mission to motivate everyone.

Cons

Total lack of transparency with salaries feels at odds with the general forward-thinking ethos of the company and doesn't foster trust.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
