Pros

People across engineering, product, data science, enterprise, recruiting, and so on are great . I cannot say good enough things about most people. They're intelligent, come from diverse professional backgrounds, and encourage a culture of learning. You can tell how much people believe in the product and how they truly aim to improve it. Generally a fun culture with nice start-up benefits, like ping pong table, beer on tap, free catered meals once a day, end-of-quarter parties.

Cons

There are serious issues with senior leadership (some, not all) and how decisions are made. The company and its leaders claim to be advocates for diversity, gender equality, and diversity but in reality that is not the case.. So many people have left and cited issues with these things as the main drivers of their decisions. It seems mostly like leadership claims they're supporters for the sake of saying it, but does not happen in practice... Company has been working out for quite some time about what to do and how to function through high growth, hence multiple reorganizations in the past few years. Doubtful of practices put in place, especially since little is done to really address the issues people are unhappy about.

Pros

The culture here is the best I've been a part of. It's elastic and fits all types. Opportunities abound and are encouraged to think big and outside the box. Employees are finally getting the recognition deserved for impressive deals made and projects accomplished. This is another level of transparency shedding light into what departments and teams are working on. Improvement here is still needed but it's better than before. The leadership team has made impressive strides in providing transparency across the organization, such as sharing the deck presented in the most recent board meeting. Teams are encouraged to set goals and OKRs for the team as a whole and for individual contributors that roll into the bigger picture and goals of the company. 360 reviews offer constructive feedback for employees and quarterly surveys are sent out for employees to chime in on how the company is doing and where improvements need made. These results are shared with the entire organization during an all hands meeting. The people, the product, the big dreams, the culture, the leadership team, the benefits -- there is no other place I'd rather spend my working hours.

Cons

As is the case with most startups and small companies of this size, change is going to happen as the company evolves. Depending on which side you're on, this can be exciting and good or bad and scary. The product, while beautiful and powerful, can be hard to get excited about if your job does not require you to use it every day.
