Pros

Smart, empathetic coworkers who share values and motivation, feeling that you're making or growing something special that's really changing the way people work together, great perks that aren't too ostentatious, friendly to working parents, older average age so you're working with grownups, tolerance and/or support for creative experimentation, big equity potential.

Cons

Fast growth that makes consistency across departments hard to maintain, need to fill positions has led to some hasty hiring of people who turn out not to work out, leadership has genuinely great intentions that in some cases seem to be a challenge to follow through on.

Pros

Almost everyone that works here is dedicated, smart, and thoughtful. Projects are often very impactful and give great visibility to leadership. I feel that I have excellent work/life balance and I am able to be flexible with demands at home (I have a 3 yr old).

Cons

This is not the place for someone who doesn't deal well with ambiguity. As a young thriving startup, we are still working on setting foundational process and methods in place and this requires great patience as well as endurance/stamina to be able to get through projects and initiatives without all the concrete foundation that an older company has.
