Pros

The perks are amazing.

Transparency and openness of policy, leadership, and codebase.

Props to leadership admitting to their faults/failures and working to learn from them.

Supporting your growth – personal and professional.

Cons

New managers in transition, but that's inevitable.

Pressure to work more – this is very team-dependent. Despite efforts to say work however you like, if many people on your team are working throughout the night, it's hard not to feel the pressure.

Open office space isn't for everyone – where's my flow state? This has improved with more and more rooms being allocated for personal use and the ability to update work status.

The Seattle office is older than MPK.

Advice to Management

Keep it up. Try to bolster some of the extra programs in the Seattle office. i.e., volunteer groups seem pretty dead here.
