Pros: Free snacks and meals in the office.

Cons: Bad work-life balance. Very poor increments; high pay disparity.

Pros: Competitive pay and incentives for high performers. Great opportunities to grow with little bureaucracy and a generally flat hierarchy when it comes to everyday decisions. Company vision is clear from the top, and decisions from management are consistent with few re-orgs or miscalculated directives. Very open and collaborative culture. Multiple opportunities to learn from others through book clubs, learning days, or lunch and learns. Cross-team collaboration is smooth even though the company is geographically distributed. Few unnecessary blockers to getting work done.

Cons: WLB can be bad if you expect to coast. Hours don't necessarily have to be long, but you do need to stay focused and maintain a reasonable output. Understand what you can achieve and don't grossly overpromise. Some benefits (401k match, health insurance) could be better. There are some growing pains surrounding teams spread across time zones. This continues to get better but can occasionally be rough.

Pros: Low bureaucracy. You want to get something done, you can do it. Great business ideas and direction. Parker is really good at this. Collaborative environment - minimal "throw over the wall" crap. Not a zero-sum "for me to win you must lose" type of place at all. Monthly all-hands with Parker are very open and candid. Really great.

Cons: Work-life balance can be bad, especially in India or in the office. Quality is a second-class citizen.
