Pros

They have a great company culture, full of smart people who believe in a solid work/life balance.

Cons

I don't have any cons that come to mind, everything about my time there was great, I left to move across country.

Pros

With both co-founders having backgrounds in engineering, there is a strong engineering focus that permeates through the company. While there are certainly occasions where you just need to get things done and out the door, you do get the opportunity to go back and make sure things are build logically and scalably for the future. There is also a strong culture that encourages group outings or get togethers with coworkers. There is also a good work life balance, plus as long as your manager is ok with it (most are), you can work from home whenever you need to.

Cons

It's an open environment, no cubes, no offices. This does make everyone feel equal with each other, but if you want to have a private phone conversation for any reason, it can be a little annoying.

Pros

Opportunities abound to provide rapid career growth for those so inclined. Standard fare otherwise for companies in the space. Great location for city dwellers.

Cons

Pay subpar with cost of living in the area. Health benefits only attractive for single twenty-somethings. Work life balance has become unbalanced over past year or so, with greater expectations to take on additional responsibility.
