Pros

I'm a long-time meditator, so I'm thrilled to be working at a company that's trying to bring the practice to the world; it's been a great benefit to me, and I hope it can be as beneficial to others. As an engineer, I've found the team to be incredibly thoughtful, open-minded, and invested in creating a high-quality product. Senior management seems genuinely invested in keeping the whole company informed, happy, productive, and focussed on our mission. Work-life balance is also amazing - I arrive at 9 and leave at 5 each day. The office is also an awesome space - I genuinely look forward to coming to work each day.

Cons

The company is growing really fast, which adds a fair amount of chaos to the environment. It also leads to things like fairly frequent reorganizations, as we have to create new structures to accommodate the growing team.
