Pros

Benefits, salary is competitive, nice campus, employee perks like bus service, free fruit

Cons

Upper management has been around for too long trying to run the company the same as when there were just a handful of people. This leads to micromanagement. A lot of your time will go towards creating presentations to provide info to upper management. They want to be involved in every little thing. Unheard of for a company of its size. Resistant to fresh ideas and changing their way of doing things. No work/life balance which they are quite proud of. Overall culture is terrible. It is extremely hard to get promoted which they are also proud of. Lots of arrogant people especially those who have been there a long time.

Pros

The company ideas and purpose is amazing and you feel that you contribute at making a difference in people's lives. You grow as the company is growing, it keeps the job very interesting and challenging,

Cons

Horrible management, lots of incompetent people in Finance, poor leadership in Finance as well. HR department is a waste, do not listen, do not act on complaints. They protect the company not the employees.
