Pros

*A huge focus on employee growth and professional development - your manager actually cares about your well-being *Smaller teams and smarter people gives more ownership on projects/products *Flexible hours, good work/life balance *Fantastic benefits (Beautiful office in downtown SF, 3 meals a day, coffee bar, onsite Wisesons, Gym reimbursement, full health benefits)

Cons

*No longer a start-up, but we do have a lot of sub-divisions of the company operating as such (Caviar, Capital, Cash) *A culture of transparency means you get to see everything that's going on at the company, you need to learn to filter your inbox quickly

Pros

Great company culture and environment Very transparent and open Awesome benefits It's obvious that upper management cares about their employees My team is amazing, so supportive and inspiring

Cons

Internal mobility Mentorship - we have strong leaders but everyone is stretched pretty thin since we are growing that it doesn't leave much time for leads to also be mentors.
