Great company, people, opportunity and experience

Anonymous employee

Pros

I love the diverse mix of people, it makes for an interesting and fun environment. We have a great work space that is open and really collaborative. People are very genuine and supportive of one another. There is a real opportunity to get involved and do interesting and fulfilling work - that's very important to me. I feel aligned with our values and I appreciate that we are asked for feedback and things change as a result - management does listen.

Cons

We are growing fast and that comes with some challenges - our needs for what people we need in roles can change quite quickly or we move forward fast without always thinking through all aspects of an action and then have to take corrective action.

Pros

Great technical leadership and great culture. Management and process help move development forward, not hinder it. We've done a great job hiring great people and I love coming to work each day - so much so that not once have chosen a day to work from home yet. I feel like this company has a great plan to take on our space, and the right leadership and talent to make it happen.

Cons

I honestly haven't had any negative experiences so far.

Pros

Positive culture and a group of managers that are open, honest and have your best interests at heart. Many opportunities for advancement or transfer if you are willing to hustle for it. Great management program recently implemented.

Cons

Typical cons of any young company. Still building out policies and procedures without become overly corporate. Health benefits in the US could be a bit more competitive.
