Pros

Culture and practices such as customer centricity, narratives, working backwards methodology etc. Tech and people are super smart too

Cons

Everything is scrappy and focused on customer value which means there are internal processes that are not always smooth. Also too many opportunities to get involved in stretch projects - it is up to you to manage and balance work/life.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
