Pros
Great work / life balance Lots of opportunities in the company Working on interesting projects Range of tech stack options Teams really own their work Weekly lunches Weekly breakfast Regular boat trips Team events Free kitchen snacks and drinks
Cons
The hardest part is probably cross team communication, as we’re all working on different projects, and sometimes we need to integrate or work together but our current goals don’t align, but usually if you raise it as a blocker it’ll get sorted quickly

Pros
Many internal teams with their own clear roles and responsibilities (no stepping on toes by accident) Clear management structure in place for quarterly company goals and milestones Wonderful flexibility Approachable and social CEOs Friendly colleagues Up to date tech stack
Cons
Each team has their own managers, so it's your luck of the draw if your manager is a micromanager On boarding for some teams is poor Quarterly milestones are usually underscoped(leading to deadlines bleeding or rushed implementations) Migration internally is vague and unknown

Pros
- Great culture: HR and Management work tirelessly to create an amazing environment that doesn't feel like work. You definitely feel valued as a person, not as a "resource". - Diversity: There is a clear effort to hire diversely and create an inclusive culture. A lot of women in management and employees from varying backgrounds. - Work/life balance: I experienced great work/life balance while working here. Management had a great approach to work, allowing flexibility and no micromanagement. - Benefits: Awesome benefits. Boat days, stocked kitchen, fun things in the common area, the adoption of a hybrid work from home/office model post-pandemic, yearly salary reviews... the list goes on. - Engaging Work: Work was interesting and engaging. There are real attempts to be innovative and creative in what's done here. - Supportive Management: Generally speaking all the managers I worked with were supportive and showed great leadership. They also appear to be listening to what the masses want from work.
Cons
Very minor cons, but: - Low starting salary: Depending on your position, you may enter on a low salary. This however is offset by yearly salary reviews and a noticeable attempt to start matching market salaries. - Base/Incentive Salary Split: At a certain point, any future salary increases are split into base (monthly take-home pay) and incentive (increased amount at the end of a quarter pending task completion). Acquiring the incentive was never really an issue, but all pay being base would make life budgeting easier.

Pros
Best place to work, many times better than my previous work place.
Cons
Nothing to share here. So far so good.

Pros
Great compensation & benefits! Hands-off management approach (no micromanaging), lots of knowledge sharing. Regular team lunches, after-work drinks, boat days, free gym membership, flexible WFH arrangements, all help to foster an environment where the employee feels supported & trusted to do their best work & have fun doing it!
Cons
I have not experienced & observed any cons.

Pros
I feel like I'm part of a team here, even more than just my direct team. The people are so great to work with and we're given a lot of autonomy over our work which is a breath of fresh air. There's a lot of flexibility as long as you can get your stuff done and we also have a lot of time to come together socially which is important to me.
Cons
I can't think of anything standout. Covid and the lockdowns were pretty tough but even then I was supported with anything I needed to work from home.
