Pros

Amazing culture and very open about company objectives and where we stand. CEO and co-founders are brilliant people who really care about the company and employees.

Cons

Can get hectic at times with constant changes. Sometimes things seem disorganized and some people in certain positions are not qualified to be in that position.
