Pros

- Perfect company for self-starters who are passionate about what they do and willing to take ownership of tasks; you'll work hard but will learn a TON and have opportunities to grow in your career as well as directly help the company grow - Environment is energetic and never boring, maintaining a healthy work/life balance is encouraged and it never feels like a pressure cooker - Nice blend of autonomy and teamwork, inclusive vibe where all members of the team are encouraged to ask questions and share feedback about any aspect of the business - Team operates under a lean startup philosophy, we continuously experiment with new processes or communication systems, as well as identify and avoid unnecessary processes - Team members are approachable, positive, and willing to share their knowledge; meetings are kept short and to the point with most communication left ad hoc - Nice office with many lunch options within walking distance as well as company-sponsored lunches on Fridays when we get to show off everything we worked on during the week

Cons

- Because of the small team, everyone wears multiple hats and are responsible for juggling many priorities; you also won't find as much structure as you might with larger organization - Team members are expected to be in the office early (8AM) everyday for a quick sync-up - outside of this, hours and time off are flexible

Pros

• Awesome team • Catered lunch on Friday • Amazing Benefits, office building, and facilities • Creative freedom and positive environment • Relaxed dress • Competative salary • Work time flexibility (for daily starting and ending hrs) • Minimal communication when not in office/on vacation/sick day/weekends👌🏽 • But great communication in office • You can take personal calls within reason • Healthy snacks which is a huge pro compared to mopst offices with chips and soda

Cons

The team is predominently men, this is neither intentional or a goal of the company and is purely coincedental, but as a female I did notice this. This is more personal preference than a con.

Pros

I worked as part of the engineering team. - Got the opportunity to build an innovative product from scratch, something that I haven't had a chance to do before at web scale. - Fast paced work environment where your contributions directly impact the bottom line. We rolled out 2-3 major features every week. It was satisfying to see the features you built being successfully utilized by many users. - Very competent and friendly co-workers. Excellent team dynamics. - Management was flexible and open to feedback. - Regular company outings to unwind and celebrate successfully deployed features.

Cons

Being a cash-strapped startup in a competitive space, there is constant change in direction and re-organization.
