Pros

Mission-driven company with passionate, skilled employees.

Salary and equity are attractive, with flexible PTO.

Remarkable transparency for a public company gives greater context, and regular all-hands meetings provide a forum for questions and feedback.

Great corporate culture.

Cons

Fast growth could lead to problems later in terms of culture and focus shift.

The DevOps model means engineers are stuck with pager duty; inconvenience varies by team.

No support yet for 401k matching.

Diversity could be better.

Advice to Management

Keep up the fantastic transparency efforts.

Do more to cultivate a diverse set of employees.
