A great product that makes a real difference in user's lives; better-than-average benefits; great coworkers passionate about the company mission.

Cons

Too much middle management; aloofness and secrecy from the senior execs; lower-than-average monetary compensation leading top talent to jump ship, leaving those behind with a heavier burden.

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.
