Pros

Nice people (mostly), collaborative working environment, interesting all-hands, fair time-off policies, relatively flat hierarchy considering its size

Cons

With all the pros, I would give 5 star, if there were not some jerks. They exist in every company and all that one needs to do usually is just ignore them, except when they are in a position that you cannot do so... I met someone who simply didn't respond to any email I sent, or took any action even after her supervisor forwarded my email. This was particularly annoying because what I tried to work with her on was just regular administrative paperwork. The company is like a machine that could have worked more smoothly without those a couple of dysfunctional parts.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
