Pros

Culture is what defines a company above all else when it comes to considering whether you'd like to work there, doesn't it? It can have great benefits, flexibility, and thoughtful contributions to the community, but the culture is why you want to work somewhere and why you want to stay. The culture at OwnLocal is like family. It isn't always perfect, but what family is? It's close and everyone relies on everyone else. A players bringing their A game daily. You're supported to do your best; if you need help, just ask. They have annual retreats to recharger your batteries and there is no shortage of other get togethers throughout the year. Daily lunches provided and an unlimited Starbucks account are pretty nice too. The new office is a great place that feels like a busy coffeehouse. It's positive and fun.... and just like its Y Combinator roots, they have dinner together family style there Tuesday nights. OwnLocal also takes care of its people, better than I've ever seen in any other company - another good measure of a company. It's having a lot of success as a company and it's positioned for more in the future.

Cons

It's a smaller company, so if you work better in a bigger company, this may not be the place for you.
