Pros

The product is amazing. It's fun, productive, and changes live. Great health benefits. Flexible time-off. Flexible schedules. Cafe and gym onsite.

Cons

Explosive growth has attracted a leadership team more focused on money than the customer. Top level leadership is out of touch with employees and customer needs. Too much focus on what's new leaving the existing product experience lacking. Constant organizational changes. No definitive culture.

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.
