Pros
Great culture, people are extremely bright and enjoy collaborating. Strong leadership, some fun perks here like free lunch and onsite events (like ice cream trucks).
Cons
Start-up pace can be fast, need to be prepared for some disorganization with moving priorities. Compensation and benefits are below market. Compared to the rest of leadership, the people ops lead is not good. He is known internally for not responding to his emails and doesn't know what compensation or benefits programs are competitive. His lack of understanding how start ups work in our industry is very obvious to a lot of us. We still have an annual number of pto days, every other company has unlimited. He just put in place 2% cost of living increases for the entire company which is also really below market. Promotions and performance ratings/increases are random and lack oversight (I was promoted last cycle so I'm not complaining about myself). Maybe get rid of the ice cream trucks and give us bigger salaries?
