Pros

Free Meals. Free workouts. Used to let dogs in the office. Unlimited time off.

Cons

Long hours. It's a total frat house. Don't get me wrong. I can hang with the best (was president of my college chapter), but this kind of company culture was even too much for me. All the "senior" people are friends of the founder, people in their 20s who have had no other job, yet have VP titles. Which means no real leadership. And they have yet to hire real adults because they just keep hiring friends of friends. I was excited about the possibility of working here but it didn't last long when I saw it was just an internal frat club and if you weren't in the in club, there was no chance of progressing or making any real change.

Pros

Great company culture and good tech to work on. Fun stack

Cons

Some managers aren't the best which could cause issues for some morale on some teams. Although outside of that, most things are good.
