Pros: My colleagues are really wonderful.

Cons: Plaid seems to be investing excessive effort in micromanaging its staff. Instead of concentrating on product delivery, achieving profitability, or preparing for an IPO, the focus appears to be on transforming the office into an "energized" environment. It gives the impression that the CEO might be feeling isolated in a large office and is seeking more people to socialize with.

Pros: - The company seems to really care about the sustainability of the company. - Unlike a lot of other Silicon Valley startups, the company is keeping a close eye on revenue growth, costs, and long-term sustainability. - It could be a pro or con depending on who you are, but the founders are extremely internally focused and very involved in the day-to-day. - An experienced but really approachable engineering team. - Engineering problems are really unique and challenging.

Cons: - Not very well known, probably due to the founders being mostly internally focused - Fairly quiet and secretive externally - People mispronounce our name all the time

Pros: Nice office, nice food, and good benefits.

Cons: Boring projects and work, valuation that is too high, and not going public any time soon.
