Pros

Great products, great people, very little overtime. This is the only place I've worked where folks top to bottom believe in the mission and core values as written.

Cons

Decisions often requires buy-in from lots of different teams. This makes decision making and execution difficult and slow for large projects.

Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
