Dynamic and growing company with inclusive culture

Pros

a lot of learning opportunities with the ability to move roles across the org in case a different business function a passion for you. They seem to care about people both their employees and customers. Good benefits and option to enroll in ESPP. My manager is both supportive and empowering to my day-to-day work.

Cons

It's not a flashy company, budgets are a bit cheap. You won't get daily meals but there are catered meals a couple times a week. Then again one of the company values is to be frugal. Company is growing and hiring, making for a lot of waves/change. Could be an uncomfortable or exciting time for you depending.
