      Great tech company with start-up culture but maturity

      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.

      Friendly casual-professional environment with a positive 'can do' culture. Product development is pragmatic, agile and open to criticism. Customers and staff are respected and listened to, with great emphasis placed on ensuring a positive experience. With so much growth, theres a lot of opportunities to make a difference. Management is very open.

      Cons

      Rapid growth means growing pains Little professional development Wellington HQ slow to adapt to explosion in global staff and the resulting need to be highly collaborative, but this is changing.
