Pros

Free Food Money is is not just good. Money is great!! There are some decent people. Work-Life balance is amazing because there is no expectation to actually work.

Cons

It's horrible. Nobody is being held accountable. YOu can do whatever You want, no consequences. Don't like to built a quality product? no problem. Don't care about the product? No problem. LITERALLY don't show up for work for 3 days a week? No problem. Carefuly that you don't cross anyone. Show initiative? Big problem. Offer better options? Bigger problem. Want a career and build good products? Don't come here, it WILL ruin you.
