Pros

* Great employee perks. free lunch, beautiful offices, A+ health benefits. good work/life balance. * great and smart people. most understand the mission and believe it. * flexible with working in your IDE of choice. adaptive to new technologies and tools. open to hearing new ideas.

Cons

* Management direction is a mess. Changing goals all the time * The community of volunteers to make an impact is dying out. Many of the star performing community members is giving up and moving on to other things * Losing the great people is hurting. Your top leaders, engineers, and influence are all leaving at the same time and taking their talents elsewhere. Those stepping up are promoted too quickly, and those working hard are not recognized for their talents. CEO is trying to clean the place up, but at the mercy of the transition of losing great people right now.

Pros

Great health insurance benefits. Literally you pay nothing per pay check. Also parental leave is 6 months which is rare in the US. Wellness days were nice too.

Cons

Lack of black people in and promoted to senior / management positions even though there are many qualified people to be there. Also management cannot make decisions. They are leaps and bounds behind the competition and many lack competence.
