Pros

Work life balance is above average. There are talented engineers to work with. Workday clubs are great. Snack program. Great for your resume.

Cons

Xpresso can be a career limiting technology (though in my opinion it's a powerful technology). Your quality of life is VERY team dependant. Some teams are great, others have highly toxic politics. Pay is above average for smaller less established companies but far behind the more established ones. Promotions aren't common. It kinda feels like there is an "in crowd" and then there is everyone else. Flexible work from home policy isn't. You get Fridays to work from home and anything more that that and your manager will be speaking with you. Unlimited PTO isn't. It's 4 weeks per year that don't accrue and doesn't pay out when you leave.

Pros

Great people to work with. Great work life balance.

Cons

Bad management when it comes to promote people who deserve it. Managers do not take employee feedback seriously. If you are an app dev and using XO then good luck if you want . to find a new job somewhere else.
