Pros

* Fun events and off-sites * Good perks * Good product * Nice people (some of them)

Cons

There are serious problems in upper management. The culture is something between a frat and mean girls. Previous reviews are pretty spot on, referring to it as a "cools kid club." They give promotions to their friends for roles that they have no experience in. Speaking up about it makes you a problem in their eyes. They make up excuses to fire/let go of people for that reason. There's also dating between upper management if you didn't think things could get messier. They preach "transparency" but know nothing about it. P.S. they also under pay you and expect you to work "start-up" hours
