Good company but need to allow more work from home

Business Outlook

Pros

Great group of people and the work is good.

Cons

The company does not encourage more than one work from home day per week. This becomes challenging for people with a commute or kids to pick up etc. It would be great if they allow more work from home days ( at least 2 if not more).

Still the best company I ever worked for

Business Outlook

Pros

- A team full of talented people working on surprisingly challenging and fun features - The hierarchy has become deeper but still feels very flat. Every manager in the whole chain of command is willing to accept feedback and talk in person. This includes the CEO. - The work-life balance is exceptional. This does not mean that the team is a bunch of slackers but rather that the trust put in employees means that the flexibility on work hours is enormous. This is probably the number one reason why we are able to retain the top talent that we have - Very open communication throughout the company. The CEO is an incorporation of our company values collegiality, rationality and integrity

Cons

The compensation is good but does not compete with Google, Facebook et al.
