Pros

Great work/life balance. The company has gone through a lot of growing pains, but still cares about the employees and culture. Still maintains the open source culture, which is not buttoned up and much more relaxed. Very collaborative environment, you build very good friendships here. Not micromanaged.

Cons

Finance and engineering run company still. Also very political. Promotions are not always given on merit, but instead on who your friend is.

Pros

Great atmosphere with developers and people at grassroots who believe in the journey as they don't translate the vision from management and create their own. A loving family of people who care for their own.

Cons

Too many ineffective middle managers as well as people who don't embrace being open.
