Pros

So many wonderful colleagues I am lucky to call my friends A company I really believe in and am proud to work for Amazing core values that all employees embody Incredible office Amazing food free of charge Happy hours after work every Thursday - great way to have fun and get to know colleagues Promotions and ability to move and grow seeing as the company is growing so fast. Excellent management with real vision Dogs in the office :) Masseuse! So many clubs and classes - Yoga Classes every week, Movie Night, Book Club, Knitting Nights, Games Nights Airshare classes where employees share random skills with each other during work hours (eg. screenprinting, flower arranging, making balloon animals, sounds engineering, knitting) Company wide gathering once a year (in San Francisco every year so far) Fast growing and always changing so you can never get bored New friends every few weeks as we are growing and hiring so fast

Cons

Hypergrowth - it's a good con but you need to be ready for things to be a bit crazy sometimes Long hours - hard to maintain a work-life balance! Some people do though but it can be difficult There are so many great people and extra-curricular activities that I hardly ever go home or see other friends!

Pros

The culture is very laid-back, collaborative and friendly. People are very talented, especially the creatives. Great benefits include free food (breakfast, lunch and dinner), snacks, company-paid healthcare, etc. Plus there's even an espresso machine for employee use!

Cons

The company is still trying to catch up to its exponential growth. Groups can still improve on communicating and working more closely together, and there are ongoing efforts to do so.
