      Worthwhile and satisfying consumer products with a few Org hiccups.

      Pros

      Good work life balance. Passionate customers. Interesting and relatable product. New technology options like DNA. Good coworkers. Great Snacks and Beverages. Very nice office. Still a cube farm though.

      Cons

      Provo vs San Francisco issues. Some issues with management opacity and feeling like there's an 'insiders club' and everyone else.

      Pros

      I really feel like what we do helps move the world in a positive direction by helping people realize how interconnected we all are.

      Cons

      Sometimes the bean counters make decisions that seem penny wise and pound foolish. Or at least the rationale is not explained to us worker bees.
