Pros

The company is friendly and very socially conscious. There is a strong culture of learning and encouragement to do so. There's a lot of opportunity for growth as well.

Cons

The visual experience of the website is a massive problem for the company.

Pros

Apart from management, great people to work with

Cons

If you're looking for growth based in merit, it will not happen here. The company does not handle conflict well, lower management is extremely inexperienced and some only got their job due to seniority. Sexist behavior by some higher management reported multiple times by engineers and other departments. HR only cares about covering the company instead of offering support to their employees. Employment terms/schedule changed without notice. Went from having a paid lunch hour to zero. The company loves to pretend like it's a startup but employee approach is definitely corporate
