Pros

The people and company culture were great. I was laid off after just a few months, which should've left a bad taste in my mouth, but this job was an overwhelmingly positive experience. They treat their employees well and foster a welcoming environment. Even after lay off they were great to communicate with.

Cons

Seems like layoffs are common, but that's the fact of life in start ups-- just be prepared

Pros

The atmosphere at this company was young and vibrant, I made friends their instantly, however, this is not unique to Austin due to the rapid growth of the city. Great location, the office was in the city centre, I'm not sure where it is now, but it was awesome for getting out into Austin after work.

Cons

No real direction, the company feels more like a passion project rather than something that will grow into a thriving unicorn business. I would advise against buying shares.
