Pros

- great collaboration between ops, engineering, and QA. Makes it easy to get stuff done - minimal politics at the engineering level - great culture, smart and friendly coworkers with no egos to get in the way - pretty easy to shift between teams if you get bored or want to work on different skills - lenient PTO and work from home policies - fantastic support from upper management - very successful product and the company is going somewhere

Cons

- middling benefits (no 401k matching, no gym memberships, etc.) - heavyweights are starting to enter the field - rapid growth leads to more work than people at times

We have food drinks and social groups for softball, soccer, sailing, jam sessions, bar meetings BEER WINE TASTING etc really cool people

Cons

- Depending on which team you are, you might end up working on weekends here and there or at midnights - If you are on a Visa ask first what to expect due the lawyers are not really good at following up
