Pros

You get the opportunity to work with smart people who as passionate about music. Competitive employee health benefits.

Cons

Management turns a blind eye to internal issues, tenured managers who don't live the company values, no 401K matching, growing pains, company gets in its own way of success, hire good individual contributors who shouldn't be managing teams, and constant reminders of how the employees aren't meeting the unattainable standards that the company has set for the fiscal year.

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
