Pros

- Nice office space - Less structure and process than a typical Fortune 100 company - Relatively flexible on work/life balance

Cons

- Highly passive aggressive in many functions - Talk about transparency, collaboration and moving fast, yet don't reward the appropriate people, actions and skill sets behind these actions - Talk about empowerment, but the power, decision making and need for alignment still remains with a few at the top - Must fit in to the culture, if you aren't obsessed by music, you may not fit - The company is in transition, old vs new mindset, which has created cultural tension within the company

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
