Pros

Lively hires the best people, and coworkers are amazing. It's a pleasure to "go to work". There are some opportunities for interesting product development work and to learn new software development techniques (especially using node/typescript). Management is receptive to feedback, and workload is fair (good WLB).

Cons

Professional development and collaboration are not supported, leading to coasting, burnout, turnover, and layoffs. These growing pains make it hard to convert professional relationships into productive work. Feedback through official channels is not helpful. Some work is not well communicated. Compensation did not keep up with the market (at least in my case).

Great senior leadership & co-founder culture. Fun company to work for, growing and very focused on customer experience

Cons

There is a certain mid manager that is a true culture vulture. Be warned.
