Pros
Fantastic laid back culture. Flexible working hours and locations. Personally have worked across multiple timezones across the world, and you can do it too if your manager approves. Great health-dental-vision and generous $130/mo remote work stipend.
Cons
Treat salary negotiations with this in mind: Private company, so the value of your equity is $0. Current FMV would make the cost of option exercise unaffordable. No point in taking such a risky play, and I would expect you to negotiate base salary and treat any equity as $0. Poor salary for VHCOL locations. I have noticed that the workforce has dwindled from San Francisco HQ, and has shifted to people living in low cost of living areas. Compensation is split into three bands: 100% for SF (benchmark) 90% for NYC, Seattle 85% for LCOL areas - Georgia, Colorado, Oregon - most employees are in this bucket. The only thing unsatisfactory about my job was unfavorable compensation, but experience here was a solid stepping stone into negotiation other job offers in the industry.
