Pros

Company attracts smart ,driven people who are committed to a great mission. Open office plan. Feel good knowing you work for a company that is providing a net positive to the environment.

Cons

Relative to the area, the benefits are a bit lacking: no matching on 401k, below-market salary compensation, and a lot of the small perks that were included last year are no longer included. Not a lot of room for growth, as management is brought in from outside.
