Pros

Learned so much in my time here, and realized what a great opportunity was seized by the company to take over identity. The people I interact with are all intelligent and smart, willing to go the extra mile to help you out. Everything feels like a team effort, because it is. Fast turn around time with weekly releases.

Cons

Might be a bit overwhelming at times, a lot is expected of you. Although it is the "unlimited" vacation, I have received some personal remarks about me taking some time off which I didn't think were called for.

Pros

Excellent leadership team. Real vision and the talent to execute. Founder and Co-founder are active, drive the culture in a positive way, and care. Excellent transparency, not just words. Great growth trajectory. We have a "in this together" feeling.

Cons

Not an environment for those who demand a strict process corporate button downed company. Intense, long hours, need to be able to multi-task for real.
