great company - but it is getting more political

Pros

Very smart people, hard working and respectful. Strong leadership & good technology. Product management could be improved

Cons

Watch your back if you are not in favor with the right manager/leader. There are some very tight workforce groups that require you to be "in" with that group - or else you will be on the outside of decision making and inclusion does not happen. Overall they live the transparency vision internally that is being publicly sold to employers. As they the company gets bigger (more employees and more offices), it will get even more political.

Best career move I ever made!

Pros

Top down culture - we practice what we preach. CEO sets the tone - lives and breathes our core values which roll downhill. People matter, integrity, accountability, passion, ownership and leadership! Benefits - Work life balance, everyone has stock and is rewarded for their accomplishments - whether you are part of a team or individual contributor. Competitive salary, excellent benefits, lots of perks, free lunch daily, gym, BBQ's, tons of events, team building, dog-friendly office - one big happy family and growing! Leadership - you are empowered to take risks, think outside the box. Alignment on vision, strategy - doesn't mean management always agrees, but with exceptional talent, mutual respect, innovation and collaboration - they ultimately lead us toward the best decisions for the customers, company and staff. Cool new digs!

Cons

Tremendous growth since I started (that's the good part), but change management can be challenging. Scaling infrastructure, on-boarding new employees so they are equipped for success, implementing new policies and procedures effectively...people don't like change. Growing up to play with the big boys means changes that are not always easily adopted.
