Pros

Friendly teams, good management, a great product, fun challenges, and a great mission.

Cons

Location-based pay has made it so that senior employees and managers can be paid less than their junior teammates or employees if they live in San Francisco.

Advice to Management

Get rid of location-based pay, like Zillow, Reddit, LinkedIn, etc. Talent should be compensated based on the value they deliver, not where they live.
