Pros

- There are a ton of smart people dedicated to making a great product and delivering a great experience to our users. - Direct, constructive criticism and ideas are welcome at all levels of the organization. - "Managers" who focus on politicking over our product and the success of our users are shown the door. - Excellent sales and strong service teams. - People who prove their worth by doing good work consistently earn respect. - Plenty of room for growth.

Cons

- Long hours are the norm - the work life balance is not great. - Fast growth has led to some poor hiring decisions - We have not found a consistently successful software development methodology.

Pros

Free Lunch on Wednesdays Solid Benefits Good pay for new hires

Cons

The flexible work week doesn't actually exist. It's an excuse to require some employees to work more than the 40 hour work week. Chicago employees are required to go into the office at least 2 days a week, even if rest of the team is remote. My specific team is without clear direction or leadership. Performative corporate jargon is rewarded over meaningful contributions. Existing employees are paid significantly less than new hires. At least on my team, there have been differences of $20 to $30K in annual salary for the same level.
