Pros

Lots of smart people and fun problems to solve. Everyone wants to help you succeed. I just moved to a new building and it’s a great facility.

Cons

Sometimes there is a lot of pressure to increase capacity for delivery, frequently deadlines feel arbitrary and artificial. Parking is hard to get and the location is right downtown so good luck if you need to drive. Company is really young which is great but if you have a family you might be one of few on your team.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
