Culture doesn't equal PR

Pros

Good benefit package and start-up perks (free lunch, snacks, ping-pong table)

Cons

Too much focus on PR and communications, too little on day-to-day manager to direct report relationships. No career paths or advancement options. The company is focused on hiring top talent from outside as opposed to helping employees grow and advance. Management spends disproportionately more time on external recruiting & selling than internal learning & development. All culture efforts seem forced and planned.

Pros

- Surrounded by people who have incredible work backgrounds from various industries, all passionate about their contribution to this company. - Healthy communication from executive leadership team through various channels (i.e.emails, all-staff meetings). Complete transparency. - You're able to easily measure your success. Management is excellent at communicating goals and coaching you through it. - Very collaborative environment. - No egos - Strong emphasis on happiness and culture, which they (by action) really uphold to - As big as the company has gotten and as it continues to grow, I see amazing effort being placed on maintaining that "start-up" environment: being able to express thoughtful opinions, holding social gatherings, communication from the top down, collaboration. - The company listens to feedback and acts upon it. - They're proactive!

Cons

Quite honestly, I have no cons.
