Pros

- location (next to 4th St. train) - lunch on Mondays - work/life: everyone leaves exactly at 450pm, no emails outside of office

Cons

- change change change, re-org, re-org, re-org - leadership team is all new, across the board, now getting rid of some already - product could be amazing but hands ties due to prioritization - where is the passion? many people walk around doing nothing significant - only senior leaders have stock :-( maybe that's why many don't care

Pros

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
