Pros

- Great talent ensures we hit the ground running on most projects - Happy hours for team building - Fair compensation - Spacious office - Catered lunch If you're an aggressive worker who is not afraid to take the lead on your projects. This is a great place. Everyone keeps to themselves for the most part unless it's a collaborative project. Not to let that mislead you, there are often NERF gun wars that may pop out of nowhere. This is also a great chance to let you know, management definitely provides you with the opportunity to speak up about projects. It's an open floor many choose not to tread on, but this practice often clears up any confusion on vision for certain projects.

Cons

- Since it is a small company, everyone's plate is full (plus an extra serving waiting for them); It's a bit difficult to solicit feedback at times

Cons

Not many cons to speak of, although they are currently switching offices, which can be a little hectic.

The company today is not what it was when I started. The business and team has moved from early startup mode and is working on scaling. The team has changed, but in no way has it lost the best talent. Like any team, we have had a couple of people move on that we care about, but we only cheer their new opportunities. Our product and engineering teams are as courageous as they are and building the best products on top of the most modern toolchain possible. If fact, I have never worked with a more talented group of people. It's amazing to be working on difficult problems with The true character of people is shown when the challenges are the hardest. While we have had a couple of people move on we have cheered their new opportunities. In no wa

Cons

The business was originally separated in two offices but is now in SF. That transition was tough but we love where we are now and love having space to do meetups with the users of our system. The sophistication of our product is a lot of work given such a small team, but we are working hard to build out the team. Dealing with the legacy opinions of people that most of use have never even met is a problem that continues to hurt us.
