Pros

Great people, great product, great perks and a great culture at first. Dedication to doing the right thing for their customers. Seems to really try to do the right thing for their employees, but...

Cons

Told that everyone has a voice but quickly disparraged when outspoken. Continued to over hire and overspend though everyone knew the sales forecasting and market planning was flawed, resulting in layoffs. Product development is very slow due to indecisive upper management and too many cooks in the kitchen fighting over their piece of the pie.

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
