Pros

Leadership is focused, determined, communicative, transparent. You know what the company mission and priorities are, and the teams are well-aligned to make it all happen. The company is clearly determined to be first choice, best in class in the space, and we have the assets to make it happen. I enjoy working with the smartest and best in the biz, with a game-changing, revolutionary technology -- it is both scary and wonderful to regularly feel like the dumbest one in the room! :P No joke. Great location right by PA Caltrain. Nice perks without being wasteful: solid healthcare options, Caltrain pass, tons of healthy snacks, dog friendly, catered lunches, nice facilities. People are friendly and everyone, including leadership, is accessible and all-ears to feedback. Team rallies behind wins and celebrates others' successes. There's an open and supportive culture around career growth and pivoting (to other teams and roles).

Cons

No 401K matching yet (though not unusual for start ups), parking permits in PA are hard to come by (expect a 3 - 4 month wait or more). Marketing team constantly in flux and without proper leadership.

Pros

The leadership understands the power of the technology well. Hiring practices are largely successful in finding people who get along well and match personality-wise. There's an open communication style and humility present in the leadership team which trickles down to the whole company in an effective way. The company is quick to take action when it's clear a direction isn't working as expected. People are encouraged to grow into roles.

Cons

The middle management is inexperienced which leads to some rough edges around internal processes (e.g. meetings can be inefficient and lack outcomes, cross team collaboration can be bumpy).
