      Pros

      - Free food - Dog friendly - laid back atmosphere/open floor - great support from management/founders very easy access - many opportunities for growth - promotion based on results not favoritism - very transparent company - great place to build skills, make money, make connections and grow as a professional - great culture/values environment is conducive to success, they really give you all of the tools you need to succeed and make working very easy. - fair compensation for a start up

      Cons

      not really much, sometimes sudden changes but that is expected at a start up dress code is kind of poor, half of the staff wears yoga pants to work every day

      Best place I've ever worked

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Startup environment fosters a lot of problem-solving, self-managing, and creative thinking. -Very transparent company, no politics or micromanaging in my experience. -Managers are cool for the most part, very laid back as long as you can do what you're supposed to do. -Lots of opportunities for personal and career growth because of the startup environment. Company is always looking for ways to improve and streamline the process, so there are a lot of chances for people to step up or think of new solutions. -Co-workers are all great people to work with for the most part, very little negative office drama. -Free food!

      Cons

      -Policies are changing often, so sometimes it can be hard to stay in the loop on new updates and changes. -Because of aforementioned rapidly changing environment, sometimes co-workers will unintentionally give you wrong information.

      Cons

      - Some would say that working in a constantly changing and ambiguous culture is a con. I would actually say it's a pro. :)
