Pros

- Amazing culture - People are incredibly smart yet nice and warm - Wonderful work/life balance - The best product and mission

Cons

- Not great at developing people managers which leads to unhappy IC's. Managers who are great employees are not necessarily great managers and they can't seem to get a balance. - Not invested in career development. It is your responsibility to push for that but doesn't feel very supported when you do make the effort. - moving away from being transparent like we once were. People (managers/leaders) are starting to say one thing but come to find out a few days later that isn't true or something changes and there is no communication around it
