Pros

There is a free lunch one day a week.

Cons

Commuting to Mountain View is awful. The product itself is high on promise, low on features. The CEO and CTO married couple create a vacuum of power that stagnates growth - both feel as if they lack humility or trust. Everything is quite slow and often counter-productive. CTO given to extreme emotional outbursts that are apologized for in chat channels the next morning with yoga-inspired lectures that still somehow come across as lacking self awareness.

Pros

Innovative product, compassionate & one-team culture, diverse and inclusive team

Cons

Healthcare industry is a slow-moving industry. Company growth has been slowed by the healthcare industry cycle. But for any deeply meaningful work, it's worth the wait.

Pros

- Remote work is nice. - Most of my co-workers are brilliant

Cons

- tech debt is out of control - no clear direction. I don’t trust the CEO and CTO’s judgement - layoffs upon layoffs - sinking ship
