Pros

Good benefits. New office so nice working environment.

Cons

Turnover big issue especially on engineering and sales teams. Problem attracting and retaining talent which in turn allows some mediocre performers to stay longer by default. This impacts the rest of us negatively. Many members of founding engineering team gone over past year which invites questions about continued quality of product. Sr. Management team as a whole lacks professionalism and some members appear to be over their heads.

Pros

- Super smart team to learn from and very welcoming people - All voices are heard and ideas can be elevated and tested - Positive environment where many people have been with the company a long time and truly care about its success - Sporadic work travel and offsites - Free lunch in office 2 days a week and bagels, snacks, and drinks all the time - In office gym - Parking commuter benefit

Cons

- Reporting tool is specific to the company and can be a bit of a learning curve to figure out, but again, there are really great people to help you! - Multiple offices throughout the world, where team members are spread across or fully remote, so its rare that the entire team would be in one office together for collaboration - No train commuter benefit to coincide with parking benefit
