Pros

Incredible co-workers, everyone is extremely intelligent, smart and motivated. Great work-life balance and focus on growth.

Cons

- Compensation - Micromanaging executives. CPO, CTO and CEO all like to review every single word that goes out the door. This results in a minimum of 10 reviews before a product launch. It slows down everyone and creates a huge bottleneck. No one is allowed to innovate. The focus is slowly on small step changes. Disappointing that we don't have the courage to be industry leaders.
