Pros

Leadership is clear about company objectives, shared often in all-hands settings. Compensation is very fair and bonus/merit increases are based on performance so your work does pay off. Friendly coworkers and a pretty casual WFH environment. Great opportunities for internal advancement whether lateral or promotions.

Cons

Culture is waaaay too fast-paced. We deliver products and features before they are ready or even if they get negative feedback during beta from customers. Feels like customer support and product depts don't listen to our customers and what they want and only do what makes the most money for shareholders. But what else is new?
