Pros

I love the product, the people, culture and, even though it's a lot, the constant change. I've learned so much since onboarding here and I'm excited for what's to come. Also - I love how flexible my team is with RTO/going in office.

Cons

Nothing really, to be honest. I love it here

Business Outlook

Pros

- Friendly and collaborative culture. Coworkers are genuinely great people. No toxicity! - Very nice WLB - Leadership cares about maintaining unique personality of company while being inclusive as it grows. - Most inviting of employee feedback (read: tolerant) that I've seen at a medium-large company

Cons

- Work got a little stagnant for me - General growing pains. Technical work shifted to managing legal and policy risk.
