Pros

- People are very approachable and willing to stop what they're doing to help - I really like that there aren't too many meetings, which leaves more time developing skills and shipping features - Everyone is breathing the same energy and you'll hear constant discussions around the product - Engineers are very senior and tons of opportunity to learn and seek mentorship - Monthly massages, weekly happy hour, daily push ups, and foosball - never had an employer so generous in taking care of their employees

Cons

- Getting to understand the product/terminology is tough and takes time for someone not familiar - Expectations are high and times do get fairly stressful, but I'd opt for this over a corporate job. It's been the most challenging and rewarding place I've ever worked

Pace may not be for everyone, there is a lot of work to do. Scaling to become a mature company can be challenging at times.

Pros

It’s a paycheck. Good brand recognition.

Cons

Terrible culture. People fail to plan, then expect everybody else to scramble and spend their nights and weekends reacting to demands within ridiculous timelines. Nothing that you’re doing is so important that it’s worth constantly burning everyone out.
