Pretty ideal place to work

Pros

* CEO seems very legit about the values of the company. There's been many times we've made decisions that prove we are not completely about the bottom line * Engineers have a lot of autonomy/trust and are encouraged to go wherever the problem leads, which is great * Mobility within the company is highly encouraged too. Engineers can go to a different team that interests them * Lots of interesting problem solving happening * Solid values that you can be proud of, unlike many other tech companies. Sleep well at night knowing that you aren't contributing to the slow downfall of civilization

Cons

* Team to team communication is weak. Every team is very autonomous, but often at the cost of not being fully aligned with other teams. Redundant work often happens as a result * Nothing is done about engineers that aren't pulling their weight which can be demoralizing for other engineers

Pros

-Smart, kind & talented colleagues -Leaders thoughtfully consider perspectives and balance decision-making for the business and the team -High growth phase - so much opportunity to take on exciting challenges, grow, and learn -Great pay & benefits (Monthly massage reimbursement? Yes please!)

Cons

-If you struggle with change or ambiguity, this could be a challenging environment. However, I'm not really certain there are any companies in the world we live in where you won't experience that!
