Pros

- opportunity here is amazing, the product is something you can really get behind and the market is still developing - office culture is unlike anywhere else I've worked, team are supportive of everything and work really well together - encouraged to be innovative and have ownership of projects - this is really empowering as an employee and you feel directly responsible and involved with team success - perks!

Cons

- its not easy, the team is small and you really have to roll your sleeves up and get involved, so if this isn't your style of working then you wouldn't enjoy it - the market is new and developing, people have had bad experiences of apps in the past and we're working to change this

Pros

This is the first place I have worked that I completely feel at home. Everyone is extremely talented and hard-working, but remain humble and down-to-earth. We are working on interesting problems, but have fun and remain close-knit as a company. Really great work-life balance which is refreshing in the Silicon Valley. Come join the team!

Cons

So far, I have nothing to complain about. Our executive group is extremely collaborative, and transparent.
