Pros

Young, hyper-growth company. Not been around long enough to generate old hands stuck in their ways, and processes are quick and efficient. Company comms are excellent, and staff at all levels are approachable. The most energetic business I've ever worked for (and am a veteran of some pre-IPO "unicorns" in the tech space). Benefits are great, the offices are pleasant, and salaries are very competitive. Excellent career prospects. Product is real cutting edge stuff; genuinely game-changing. Staff are truly best-in-class, across all departments. High pressure, big demands, but fun, challenging, and extremely rewarding.

Cons

Not a con in truth, but the fast pace won't be for everyone. Upper reaches of the business could benefit from greater diversity, though this is being openly and proactively addressed.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
