Pros

Free lunches 2x a week.

Cons

Went through a round of layoffs laying off system critical people just to hire new ones that were 1/3 as competent. The pipe dream of humanitarian-focused business is there to distract since they clearly don't care about it at all- doing maybe 1 good thing a quarter to boast to investors. Pay was particularly bad to have to work in SOMA to a point where I should have never worked there. Continuously hiring project managers rather than people to actually fix the problems they like to hound you about.

Growing quickly and starting to improve benefits

Cons

Lower comp and raises overall, and as with space, stock is pretty variable.

Super smart colleagues and a lot of agency

Kinda hard to prioritize, with so much control it’s hard to know what the next best step is
