Pros

-Best benefits of any company I've worked for (working remote, PTO, meetup) -Best and most consistently self-driven people I've worked with -Best structured company I've ever worked for, extremely easy to reach across departments to get work done, suggest product improvements, etc. -Most fun company I've worked for in terms of product, people, and organization -Least stressful company I've worked for in terms of deadlines and management -Only company I've worked for where there's no weird inter-office politicking

Cons
