Pros

Incredibly talented people across the company. Great opportunities for learning and growth. Flexible workplace and great culture with a "people first" focus! Appreciate the weekly company meetings with updates/transparency on what's happening across the company!

Cons

Being a tech company, we have to move fast. Not a "con" unless someone doesn't like change.

Pros

flexible schedule and great benefits

Cons

Terrible project planning and communication across teams. Frequently in a “need it yesterday” last minute deadline cycle. Not very “transparent” as leadership says. no clear guidelines for performance reviews or career growth.
