Pros

Love the CEO and his leadership. The CFO/COO is equally great. They made great business decisions during my time there.

Cons

Decent pay but not super competitive. No 401K match. Beware of micro-managing and gaslighting managers. They did a bait and switch on me. Interviewed with one manager I clicked well with and immediately switched me to another manager upon joining. My new manager was a first-time manager + had a terrible reputation among the other ICs to be mentally and emotionally abusive, but I guess they had strong relationships with the skip level and other managers on the team. Nothing was done when I brought it up to my skip level and HR. Perhaps not all managers are like this, but be very wary of what kind of managers the company retains because it is very telling about the day-to-day work culture.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)
