Pros

Pretty nice downtown Boulder office, generous transportation budget, professional development budget, benefits packages and profit-sharing. Awesome work/life balance with an emphasis on mental health awareness. They really care about the employees on an individual basis.

Cons

Slightly lower pay than the industry but it's made up for in additional expensive coverage, professional development and snacks!

Pros

Mission oriented company with an amazing vision and founding principles. Great colleagues in most cases and incredible opportunity to help founders who are really making a difference. A truly purpose-driven place when run well and with humanity and compassion.

Cons

Leadership upheaval, leadership without any care or consideration about actual people or employees or the culture. A total ship hitting an iceberg with an environment turned game theory-meets-Nash Equilibrium-meets- game politics. You knew you were being bled out before you were to be dismissed at any moment.
