Pros

- Great company and product with a good future ahead - Awesome office culture - you'll want to be in these beautiful offices with lunch 3 times a week, high-quality snacks, monthly social events, and really kind and welcoming colleagues - Good work/life balance with "unlimited" PTO and managers that encourage folks to take time off - Benefits are solid, with monthly gym and phone allowance, home office stipend, and affordable healthcare for families

Cons

- Pay might be lower than other tech companies, and salary negotiation wasn't exactly fruitful during the recruiting process - 401k match could be improved

Pros

-great product suite - great coworkers - supportive middle management - good office activities / culture
