Pros

- Everyone working here truly believes in the company's mission and works together towards a common goal - Transparency about the company from upper management - The company is focused on growth, learning and personal development, values diversity and not only talks about it but makes things to help promote diversity and inclusion. - Decent vacation/sick leave and working from home policy - Still young, yet not naive, has a smart strategy about the company's future and isn't just taking it easy 'riding the VC funding wave' - Very quality-oriented - The managers are very hands-on. - Everybody on the team has a great and intimate understanding of the product - not just support and engineering. - Good benefits, has both maternity and paternity leave of absence.

Cons

- Seasonality: some months will have higher workload than others. - Things are moving really fast, and constantly changing. Work-life balance could suffer (but also depends on a role). - Not your type of startup if you're used to underperforming or doing the minimum amount of work. There's a high expectations of your performance. - No 401(k) yet.
