Pros

Free lunches, stock IPO, cool product.

Cons

Really negative culture, unfair HR policies like so-called unlimited PTO, and a highly competitive environment to the point of obstructing true team spirit. There are little chances for advancement because they box you in. They only have Sr. Software Engineers and then Directors and VPs, so there's no logical career path for people who don't want a management path.

Advice to Management

Run your company like everyone else does. Your structure is not that innovative; it's actually oppressive in many ways. The tagline in job descriptions about it being a non-politics culture is a lie.
