Pros

Free Food, Good benefits (health insurance, maternity/paternity leave of 4 months, commuter benefits, somewhat of a 401k match), flexible PTO, multiple office options to choose as homebase.

Cons

You could not negotiate salary if you were hired/promoted into another role/department. Rules and policy in my department changed constantly. PTO was hard to come by and was always a point of contention among those in Customer Success. Not all leads managed equally - someone might allow you to work from home, while another one would always deny it. Company culture is very cliquey... it was very hard to make friends.

Pros

-the culture is non-hierarchical, friendly and eager -people believe in the mission -exciting growth trajectory -tons of transparency from the top -increasing flexibility around WFH and distributed workforce

Cons

-company is betting that equity will counterbalance mediocre cash salaries -growth can mean uncertain work life balance -turnover is getting higher since the stock price leveled out in 2019...but that’s not unheard of in tech -culture around advancement is weird. Levels are hidden, promotions un-announced, manager-given performance ratings generally a secret. I get that they’re promoting a non-aggressive environment but it makes personal development harder to measure and plan.
