Pros

Teams are very supportive of one another. Management encourages individual growth and goals, whether it's on your own team or to further your own career. Everyone seems to be willing to help each other out in order to solve problems and I've never been afraid to ask others for help on things where I did not know enough on my own. On my team and across some of the teams that I have personally worked with, I have felt a lot of love and support. The benefits are also pretty great. You get a lot of time off depending on what country you're working out of, hours are flexible depending on the team that you're on, the stipends are nice and helpful, the insurance is pretty good, and paternal leave is very generous. The company really does take care of their staff. Managers that I have worked with will take the time to listen to you and offer you help when you need it. They encourage you to take the time to learn new skills and really develop where you are. It's the kind of place where you would want to stay for your entire career.

Cons

It's a relatively small company that's growing pretty quickly. It's easy to see the areas where the company is being stretched a bit thin and trying to make things work. Sometimes it takes some time to get things rolling, but once it does, people seem keen on seeing things through to the end. A lot of teams like to overcomplicate their processes which doesn't allow for a lot of transparency, but it seems that this is something that the company is attempting to fix.

Pros

Amazing business that keeps improving process and talent. The vision and strategy of the company is shared consistently.

Cons

Would love to get back to an office but opening seems unlikely. It is growing so rapidly, it is difficult to establish relationships in a remote environment without any face time.

Pros

Amazing pay and stock options. They actually care about your well being (gives you gym and mental health stipend monthly) and give company wide "recharge days" where the whole company takes random days off. Strong financials and innovative space to work. Customers love the product.

Cons

none that i can think of
