Pros

Best word to describe work is: chill. I can come in anytime and leave anytime, work from home on Fridays, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday's, meditation and massages onsite, my teammates are all senior engineers so I'm learning a lot from them, catered meals on Mondays, tons of benefits (health, vision, $300 gift for transportation monthly), unlimited snacks, great salary : )

Cons

Needs more enthusiasm from workers

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
