Pros

Autonomy in a growing environment Being able to make an impact on a daily basis Open environment/forum to ask questions Collaborative, knitting culture

Cons

HQ is split into two different offices, can be challenging to knit Fast-paced and continuing to grow at a high rate (not atypical of tech startups, but likely challenging for veterans who have been here for awhile)

Pros

- Awesome Silicon Valley perks: free breakfast, lunch, dinner/snacks/drinks, lots of happy hours and random activities, friendly and fun workplace in the city, unlimited PTO. - You get to work with top talent. I work with a ton of accomplished engineers and learn new stuff everyday. - Great product that has a big future both creatively and in terms of monetization. - The company really invests in your success and goes to great lengths to make sure you're a happy employee. Can really tell a difference compared to my previous employer. - Fantastic work/life balance (though can vary slightly depending on your team/big deadlines). - Warm and friendly culture. You won't really find the tech-bro mindset here that you might find at other companies which is extremely refreshing. - Emphasis on meritocracy and removing bias from decision making in hiring and promotions (unconscious bias training, carefully reviewed and thought out processes, strong diversity initiatives, ect). - Top level directs are friendly and readily available to answer questions/comments.

Cons

- I notice there are a few aggressive reviews on here and I think they are probably situational and exaggerated . Company is a startup growing into a bigger company so there are natural growing pains/reorgs associated with that that some people may have their own opinions about.
