Pros

Amazing work-life balance, fun office culture, very inclusive, and the best benefits I’ve had at a job.

Cons

Compensation in the form of stock has been steadily decreasing, and it’s hard to see it reversing.

Promotions and performance reviews incentivize competing with your co-workers.

The executive team seems to change direction frequently, and re-orgs are disruptive.

Advice to Management

Compensation and frequent top-level changes are making high-quality talent leave.
