Pros

- RUN HAPPY vibe permeates most everything the company does - Business on a great trajectory, lot of growth potential - Management genuinely cares about employees - Everyday work life is fun - with great colleagues, frequent social gatherings, etc. - New office location is great, future headquarters building will be even better - Reasonable work hours - Ample (high-quality) career training opportunities - Great discounts on gear, lots of free product and race giveaways - Visionary CEO and product leadership is inspiring to watch and learn from

Cons

- Promotion track can be slow (unless you start at the bottom, where it is quite good) - Vacation policy a bit stingy, overall benefits aren't fantastic. - I could probably come up with more, but really splitting hairs...
