Pros

Exciting product - amazing benefits and smart, kind people - great work/life balance - I'm so thankful to work at a company where you feel valued and respected

Cons

It's busy and we're working on improving and streamlining processes (lack of which can be frustrating, but also typical stuff at fast-growth companies) - 4 weeks of PTO (and company shutdown between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day) is really generous, but I'd love to see us have unlimited PTO and some type of sabbatical benefit in the future
