Pros

It's a company with smart leadership, and every employee is skilled and competent. Every engineer is strong or better. Culture is highly collaborative, but people are encouraged to speak up and openly debate decisions regardless of seniority. Very high transparency between management and employees of all levels.

Cons

Flat organizational structure and high collaboration means projects can end up with a large number of equally senior stakeholders who don't agree on a way forward. Stock doesn't grow at the same rate as other Bay area companies.

Pros

Great culture. Encouraging and welcoming work environment. Hands off, supportive management. Very fast-paced but extremely rewarding work. COOL people! Free food. Stock options are great. JoeBen & company roots are unique. Great benefits. Only a couple of bad apples. Dog friendly. No egos! Unlimited PTO.

Cons

Growing pains. Things change as we grow so it is helpful to be flexible and comfortable with a fast pace. Long hours sometimes, so you must like what you do!
