      Pros

      Well run development process. Constantly identifying needs and actively filling the holes. Don't ask people to wear too many hats, which can result in poorly filled roles. Great coworkers, easy to make friends. Great culture and good work life balance, flexible schedule. Beautiful office. Awesome espresso machine. Good compensation. Expanding team, so lots of opportunity for advancement.

      Cons

      No name recognition in the US (hopefully this is changing). Not sexy to tell friends "I build accounting software". Benefits are good, but could always be better. ie Higher 401k contributions, public-transit passes, provide basic lunch supplies. No cash bonuses, only stock that fully-vests after 3 years.

      Pros

      Great culture and some talented leadership. Because it is still growing also means there is a lot of opportunity to make a difference within the company.

      Cons

      Growing can often mean allocating responsibility which is always tough. Because of the transition sometimes process can slow change (though inevitable).

      We're in the process of rolling out a new applicant tracking system that will allow us to expand our reach for employee referrals, but also allow us to do a better job of posting openings and sourcing internal candidates for the role. Look forward to more soon!
