Pros

Flexible scheduling and amazing work-life balance. Very transparent culture around our metrics, finances, etc. Executive team is very approachable with any questions, even as the company has grown. Engineers have a lot of influence on product decisions - very collaborative workflow. Unique mission, with a chance to make a serious impact on the real world.

Cons

Lack of diversity in engineering, even by industry standards, and management is not interested in solving the problem, despite individual contributors vocal concerns about diversity. Some very weird and questionable decisions recently about who can stay with the company and what offices people can work in. I used to have complete trust in this flexibility and that the company was looking out for everyone’s best interest - but I don’t think we can trust them at their word anymore.
