Pros

Fantastic benefits for individuals who value work-life balance above most everything else.

A great work-place environment for those who thrive with high levels of agency and autonomy.

Cons

To date, individual compensation is an incredibly opaque subject with very little opportunity to discuss influences or potential. The culture of "choose your own adventure" can lead to disorganization and inefficiency, hampering both individual and collective success.

Advice to Management

Find ways to be more transparent and human in compensation discussions.

Seek tangible ways to help team leads improve alignment across the entire organization and product offerings.
