Pros

CEO is good at sale and getting funding. Product is popular.

Cons

Some back-end platform and infra teams are political driven. Pressures are not from the back but front. Oversized engineer team, at some time, there are not many tasks to do but just make your manager happy. Some managers are collecting your faults word by word and prepared to use them fire you instead of focusing on get things done or making service better.

Pros

-CEO is extremely forward-thinking, but still seems very genuine and practical. That culture trickles down. -Great customer solutions, so I can compete toe-to-toe and know that it doesn't have to start with pricing concessions, politics and FUD around competition, to obscure product shortcomings. -Benefits are outstanding, IMO. -There seem to be many opportunities to advance, and I have seen a lot of internal promotions in my first 30 days. -Culture is great, and has a strong foundation, but I can already see some polish wearing off at the employee level. You can't put wrong people in place and expect them to pay it forward.

Cons

-I have offered up three referrals and not one has received any follow-up outside of the confirmation email. -No 401K match, but I hear rumors.
