Pros

So much room to make impact on a growing company. Management hands you the reigns and lets you lead the charge. Very open communication between employees and mgmt through various channels - in person, at all-hands, through Slack and Niko; issues that are brought up by employees are addressed publicly. C level is not only accessible but so involved, their interest in their employees feels genuine. This is an environment where people are given the space to succeed in their roles, the opportunity to create structure for the company, and the support to move into a new direction if they choose. As a single mother of two kids, I would not be able to work here if it wasn't an environment that was supportive of families. There is ample PTO, flex time, and medical benefits that cover dependents 100%. There are frequently children in the office. There is a private room for nursing mothers with a refrigerator.

Cons

Nothing. I honestly enjoy coming to work every day, and working with people from all different backgrounds and lifestyles. The conversations around the lunch table are fascinating. There are people all around me who I find inspiring. I feel valued for what I contribute and given the space and support to continue growing professionally. I have never felt held back because of my background, gender, education, or lifestyle. I love it here.

Started out great, too bad it's gone so far downhill

Pros

Great original goal, wonderful original dedication to employee care and happiness, beautiful office views.

Cons

Turning into a typical Silicon Valley sexist environment, has driven out working mothers, fired employees with no warning, employee concerns voiced to management or HR are either swept under the rug or ignored completely, the once-great culture has died.

Pros

The best and smartest team I've had the pleasure of working with. Clear direction and trust from upper management allows everyone to work autonomously. Obviously you're expected to do well, but you're given what you need to exceed goal and not micromanaged along the way. Great view, real opportunities for career growth, flexible hours working from home... but you won't because everyone is great and there's free catering every day.

Cons

Typical startup growing pains. Newer roles require you to wear a lot of hats (but good work is definitely rewarded).
