Pros

- Really kind coworkers, with the exception of some toxic folks who are mostly leaving now - Management is working to solve company culture issues and feels like there is progress. i.e achieving gender pay parity, more diversity at a Senior level now. - Career growth - Flexible WFH / remote policy - Great benefits, including free therapy

Cons

- Can be ambiguous. Definitely still a start up environment which is not for everyone - Employees think there are lay offs / buy outs when there are not and try to spread misinformation to cause problems internally, especially after they already decide to leave

Growing start up with the usual growing pains -- product pivots, more staff than current human resources processes and management can serve, no 401k match
