Pros

I love the people I get to work with. Everyone is excited about the product and the future of the biz. It's a real "work hard, play hard" kind of place. The office is an open floorplan so everyone works together from sales to engineering. And every Friday we have a full company meeting with cocktails and we talk about the biz. Everyone is an owner - it's a great environment.

Cons

It's still a start-up, even though growing quickly. So definitely some growing pains - but standard to what I have experienced at other start-ups.

Pros

Smart people doing awesome things at scale. Tons of perks, (very) passionate leadership, and challenging problems. Product is really shipping now, sales are picking up, the team is engaged and culture is thriving. Love working here.

Cons

Not everything has been figured out and lots of people wear many hats. Typical for a startup, though.

Pros

Lots of intelligent, friendly people.

Cons

The current CEO (MJ) has a marketing background, which is great for trying to sell a company quickly but challenging if you're trying to run a profitable business (unclear which he is trying to attain.) Examples of this limited experience: when employees bring up rising competitors, he dismisses them instead of tackling it head-on to assess the business climate. A more consistent vision would help the place feel like a real company and get his employees to take him seriously.
