Pros

Work life balance was very reasonable here (with the exception of on-call weeks). You'll also get to work with a nice group of people.

Cons

The engineers and lower level managers doing the work are discouraged from sharing ideas or giving feedback to how problems will be solved early on. The decision making process is top down. There is no communication between technology and product departments, which has led to stagnation and lack of innovation. I left because we never seemed to be working on anything new, impactful or interesting. They also promise a 15% bonus, but since the company doesn't make any money you will never see a penny of that promise. Health and other benefits are well below average.

Pros

Company constantly experiments with new technology. People are approachable and nice.

Cons

Frequent changes with the processes. Some extreme agile processes like pairing are followed which may not be productive in the all scenarios. People in the management roles don't leave or get promoted so there are no opportunities if you want to go higher in the management roles.
