Pros

- Exciting work - Effective meetings - High achieving coworkers - Highly engaged users - Free time for runs & rides - Group activities & events - Free snacking - Super generous vacation - Free to WFH anytime you want (in my experience) - Health Care benefits are pretty sweet

Cons

- I've heard pay can be better at the big Goog and Apple type places, but I'd say the job is much more exciting here, and you make a much bigger difference in the project. - Office gets chilly sometimes

Pros

The main pros are that there are actually some really brilliant people who work here. They are intelligent, funny, and have an actual clear vision of how things should be done to deliver a great product to users.

Cons

The cons are that leadership only believes in and genuinely elevates white male voices. Sure, there are ERGs and prominent people of color at the company. But the real decisionmaking power is made by a combination of certain "golden boys" and their buddy, Claude. The ones driving the ship actually lack critical thinking skills.
