Pros

Company, products, management, culture, and people are great. The people are some of the best I have worked with. The productivity and brain power of their employees is amazing. What the company lacks in pay, it tries to make up for in other ways with fun events, free shirts, feeding you at times and similar such things, which is great but those are the things you need to do if you want to attract and retain great talent.

Cons

Much like a lot of tech companies in the Santa Barbara area, they like to under pay employees. Right now, no bonus program. Raises are anemic. Company holidays are slim. Paid Time Off is average to start, increases to it are non-existant until many years later. The number of stock options they grant are okay. Upward mobility is slim.

Pros

- Fun onboarding process - Offered 50k above average during negotiation but I had to refuse every prior offer. - Knowledgeable fullstack engineer - Best interview process, they actually ask questions relevant to the job. No leetcode regurgitation.

Cons

- Micromanagers that ask you to make a daily list of all your accomplishments and sit in on all your meetings when the don't like you. They believe you've made progress when you're the loudest about it while their largest daily accomplishments are filling up your calendars with meetings. - Deceitful run of the mill corporate culture. Expect nothing better and don't fall for the "family" vibe that tries to get pushed. The second they don't agree with you the mask drops and you'll hear what they really think during your 1-on-1's. - The golden startup age of company trips and cool merchandise are coming to an end. Cost cutting is already happening, and company hoodies won't be the last thing to be cut.
