Pros

Incredible team of motivated and positive people. Very cool projects that are always on the go and leadership listens if you want to be involved somewhere. The value of transparency means always knowing what is happening at Buffer. The leadership team is just phenomenal and it's incredible to be able to work with them. Buffer has built an amazing community so you often get approached or asked about working there, it's very cool to experience.

Cons

It can be tough to work 100% remote, it's key to have a community in your city. As a result of the flat experiment, management at Buffer is still being figured out. It might not be a place where you can easily move upwards so you should be comfortable in the role you're hired in.

Pros

- Some really talented people to work with - Great perks & 4 day work week - Back in the day, the culture was good. (however things have changed since then)

Cons

- Sooo many internal politics. - Being fired for using the perks offered. - Little to no career growth- you cap out at a certain point. I’d recommend staying 1-2 years and moving on.
