Pros

Great people. Great benefits (gym membership matched), kitchen with free snacks. Can often work from home.

Cons

High turnover, no effort to retain employees, no upward ladder, terrible pay (30%) lower than market, you're overworked with no overtime pay, long hours often, unequal treatment of women. Leadership is inconsistent: one minute you're told to do (A), the next you're chastised for not doing the opposite. Work from home is available but not encouraged, even when you have to work overtime with no overtime pay.

Pros

The organizational culture is exceptional—the Head of Human Resources genuinely cares about employees, and the VP of Sales stands out as one of the most honest and thoughtful leaders I've encountered. The company strikes a great balance in size: it's small enough that leadership in Marketing, Finance, and Legal are consistently accessible via email, yet large enough that someone is always available to handle urgent issues across time zones. Even though the organization operates fully remotely, teamwork is seamless, and unnecessary meetings are minimized, making work efficient and focused. Senior management is experienced, but also young enough to be trusted with navigating the rapid changes coming to technology in the next five years.

Cons

The organization strongly prioritizes efficiency, meaning company perks such as retreats, swag, and merchandise are minimal. Because the team is highly skilled, new hires must be prepared to hit the ground running to succeed. Additionally, the relatively flat, egalitarian structure might not appeal to individuals accustomed to the hierarchical ranking systems common at FAANG companies.
