Pros

Compassion is at the heart of the company, both for its customers as well as its employees. Incredibly customer-centric, obsessing over the customers' experience and constantly dogfood-ing the product. Management is also always emphasizing work-life balance and encouraging employees to take time off for mental health. The perks are very generous (Since COVID, we get 1 Friday off a month for free!). Workplace is very collaborative; everyone is very willing to help out. Good vibes all around.

Cons

Because the company is quite young, there are a lot of re-orgs and I have had 4-5 manager changes in a 18 months.

Slack Response
