Pros

Haven't encountered any selfish, arrogant, or incoherent colleagues after one year – this is the first time after working at five other companies. Colleagues are brilliant and really eager to help.

If FAANG benefits are #1, I'd say this is #2. When the earnings per share turn positive, I'm sure benefits will fly.

Great respect for work-life balance.

Loads of empathy that starts with the CEO and shines through the company.

Excellent COVID handling: the company went company-wide WFH before the government suggested it, and continued WFH as a priority after the government lockdown ended.

Active programs to help employees disconnect from work. The company is more worried about employees burning out than taking naps, which are also not taboo.

Cons

Haven't really come across any in terms of work.

Earnings per share is negative.

Advice to Management

Whatever you're doing to keep bad personalities out, keep it up!
