Pros

- Truly wonderful people and a highly collaborative, supportive environment Interesting, impactful work paired with a mission that genuinely matters - Competitive pay and perks, and refreshingly no politics - High trust culture, you’re empowered to do your job without micromanagement - Fantastic company culture, plus bi-annual company kickoffs that are so much fun and bring everyone together

Cons

If you're not a self starter you might get lost in the busy-ness! There's a lot of work and it's very hands on - true start up culture. It is not at the expense of work-life balance though!
