Pros

- Nice, well-meaning, hard-working teammates - Products that actually work and are well-respected across the industry - The company tries to keep employees satisfied with good benefits (wellness days, good health care plans in the US, unlimited PTO that you don't get badgered for actually using)

Cons

- Salaries are... not great. If you don't fight for a high salary when you start, you're going to be screwed in the long term - If you're in marketing there are about 5 teams who all think that they own messaging, and it makes it hard to get things done and drive alignment - Too many meetings. Just, way too many meetings.
