Pros

Easy-going, fun, relaxed environment with approachable management and open office plan. Great office location in downtown SB, with fully stocked kitchen and weekly lunches.

Cons

Some growing pains and management turnover. Open floor plan can be loud and distracting at times. Not a lot of upward mobility. Compensation is not competitive.

Pros

Working with truly wonderful, smart, and competent coworkers. Good mission. Walks the "Employees are family" talk with exceptional benefits, such as half days every other Friday, unlimited PTO, and lots of tiny benefits that add up to a lot of love. Most employees like most other employees, which is huge. There is a lot of trust going both ways.

Cons

Salaries are lower than you could get elsewhere and the organization runs lean in terms of available hands to solve the many issues. I think it's a good tradeoff in return for which you get stability that's rare in tech; they're slow to hire, slow to promote, but they're slow to fire, and so far I've never seen a layoff.

Pros

Remote first, and FastSpring Friday's are amazing.

Cons

Will have a lot on your plate most of the time. You'll get to learn a lot.
