Pros
  • Great work/life balance.
  • Free food and flexible hours.
  • Unlimited vacation (can be a pro or con depending on your manager).
  • Solid vision, the company will grow.
  • Friendly people and great culture.
  • Very competitive pay.
  • Least stressful job I've read.
Cons

The company is becoming more corporate. There is no 401k matching. Different organizations vary greatly. Some are run super well, have no politics, and Get Stuff Done. Others are super disorganized. The bar for hiring engineers has been dropping. Sales and product have a lot of politics. Engineering it varies, but much less so. There is a lot of tech debt; it will take years to overcome at the current rate.
