Pros

Love, love, love. There is so much love amongst people here.

Culture fit interviews weed out people who can't get along with others and do not have team belongingness.

Food is not great but good; I love the micro kitchens.

Good work-life balance.

People are very understanding. You can say if you need to work from home for a month or a few weeks because of some family emergency.

Holiday shutdown. Everyone gets off from December 20th until January 1st. That's amazing.

Very competitive pay. Similar to Google, Facebook, Uber, Lyft, Stripe, etc.

Business outlook is very strong. While other tech unicorns like Uber are burning cash, we are profitable and increasing that year-over-year.

Great product with no real competitor.

Cons

Tech is not that strong. We need some good tech leadership and guidance on the path.

Food can be better.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work.

Take your time to go IPO, but do it correctly and only when it makes sense.

No firing to clean books for IPO.

Bring some tech leadership.
