Pros

They definitely care about their employees and have managed to cultivate an employee-centric culture that feels genuine, which can be tricky as companies grow in size.

Perks: Unlimited PTO, stock purchase plan, reasonable health/dental/vision, downtown office location, flexibility to move between teams/positions, continuing education/training budget.

Cons

Like many smaller startup companies that have grown to enterprise status, direction and priority can shift frequently which fosters doubt in management and can be frustrating as an engineer. Teams are spread out between offices/time zones and at times it can be difficult to know who controls what, let alone getting those teams to spend their time updating a dependency on your behalf.

The 401k matching is a little low.

Advice to Management

Pick a direction and stick with it then do whatever you can to let the engineers focus on coding because everything else is a costly distraction.
