Pros

People are energetic and passionate about the product. Everyone works very hard, and I found myself working more than just 40 hours a week just because I loved what I did. I felt like I was growing with the product I was working on. No complaints on benefits either. Was recently affected by the layoffs, so the UX team and leadership is different than what it was before. I don't think they will be expanding UX any time soon.

Cons

I was definitely underpaid but that was the tradeoff I made because the projects were so fascinating. Layoffs were pretty traumatic for people involved. Leadership still trying to get their bearings.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
