Pros
People are tops: open culture, playful attitude - great example is that non-management employees spend time together outside the office, throw company-wide parties, just because they enjoy their coworkers. Low politics, little stratification - founders have a desk right next to everyone else, interact with everyone. Generous perks - suite at AT&T park open to all employees, frequent parties, free food. Great office and office location - natural daylight, fresh design, open plan. Competitive compensation - market-rate salaries, solid equity Lots of upside still - great place in the risk/reward curve; good place to grow your career
Cons
Still in startup mode - longer hours compared to a settled big tech firm (Google, Microsoft) Hard to get your friends hired - stiff hiring standards
