Pros

My peers are smart and innovative. The company culture is great overall - people want to hang out and do fun stuff, people actually use their pto, they buy us lunch once a week that everyone eats together.

Cons

Leadership is all over the place - they make choices inconsistently and choose speed of delivery over quality. HR is sharkey - once you are in the company they don't give pay raises and promotions easily. The company is top heavy - senior and manager titles are diluted.

Flexible, friendly, room for growth

Cons

None! It is a startup, if you aren’t prepared for that then it might be a little surprising.

Pros

Informal atmosphere, *mostly* skilled and effective people. though there are clear weaknesses. Currently on a good path, but previous mis-steps have led to big problems. Career opportunities are mixed--will you be involved in a pet product or something else?

Cons

Poor decision making at times. There's talk of pushing decisions down to individuals, but really one opinion matters.
