Pros

nice people nice snacks nice product

Cons

The company hasn't found a sustainable business model and morale is extremely low across the board. Good professionals are leaving and roles aren’t being backfilled. Those who stay are overworked and underplayed. Not to mention all the knowledge that is lost with the extremely high turnaround. There is no focus on efficiency and good performance is not rewarded.

Pros

- The Product: It's a visually beautiful product. I would use it even if I didn't work here. - My co-workers: While there has been a lot of turnover lately, the team we have now is strong, motivated, and collaborative. It wasn't always that way, so this is a nice byproduct of the attrition. - Good communication: I feel pretty well informed and connected to the mission through the weekly huddles, all hands meetings, Q and A's, etc. - Alignment: Previously, the company was pretty silohed. But with changes to the structure, we're more focused and aligned on what needs to be done to grow instead of acting like a golden retriever in a room full of tennis balls. - The flexibility: Good work/life balance. Though there is a lot of work. - CEO: A genuine and passionate guy who truly cares about employees and making things better.

Cons

- There's a lot of work. Can be overwhelming sometimes. - Innovation can get caught up in the processs. Too many decision makers and meetings. - Some communication challenges between remote offices. - Strategy alignment can be a bear. - Better cross-functional collaboration (this can always improve).
