Pros
– Rewarding to work on a product that has a progressive mission and cause – Friendly colleagues, positive/encouraging work environment, good company culture – Middle management, staff, and entry-level staff are very diverse – Casual dress code, a fridge always stocked with La Croix and snacks – Lots of room for creativity and experimentation (a yearly Hackathon!) – Great opportunities for learning and career development
Cons
– Raises, reviews, and promotions are only done at the end of the year (even if you were hired mid-year) so it's very difficult to negotiate. – Quite a few positions have very low pay relative to similar positions in the same fields and region. – PTO policy is a major sore point, there is no distinction between sick time and vacation time with just 15 PTO days a year. As a result, this encourages people to come into the office sick (resulting in other people getting sick) or working from home (which means longer recovery time) – The upper management/executive team, including some new hires, is mostly white men and mostly white.
