Pros

Management is transparent, ambitious, and highly invested in the companies success. Casual environment with lots of fun people. Small company means lots of opportunity to work hard and stand out. Coworkers often hang out together and the company sponsors catering once a week. Close to downtown and lots of great restaurants. Good work - life balance here in Santa Barbara.

Cons

Minor politics like any company. No 401K matching.

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.
