      Great place to work

      Senior software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good co-workers, good pay and benefits, product with positive influence. Weathers macro-economic downturns well.

      Cons

      C-level execs always from out-of-state, most leave soon, after collecting their millions. More concerned about being woke than they should be. Not very much equity sharing.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people I work with are relaxed and reasonable. It is the norm on my team to take 20ish days off a year. I get clear expectations from my manager, and I rarely feel stressed.

      Cons

      Some of the employees who have been there for a long time are difficult to work with.
