      Changing culture but future is bright

      Pros

      Family-oriented culture; continuous growth; friendly coworkers; international expansion make this a really attractive company to work for. And what really gets teams excited is truly making a difference in people's lives by helping them understand their family's roots.

      Cons

      There are not too many downsides, to be honest. The pay in San Francisco isn't competitive with other billion-dollar companies, but the family friendly culture, flexible hours, and unlimited time off are supposed to compensate. However, with new functional leads coming onboard, the expectations have shifted re: delivery timelines for exceptional work without a shift in headcount, budgets, or outside help.
