Pros

Individuality is not only welcomed, it is celebrated. The company focuses strongly on diversity not just of ethnicity, but of age, background, identification, beliefs, and just about anything you can think of! There is a very open and transparent culture, as you can imagine from a company that makes a tool specifically for communication and transparency. Sometimes I find myself so comfortable in my surroundings that I have to actually remind myself that I am, in fact, at work, and need to act as such. But it's just such a friendly and warm atmosphere filled with brilliant and funny people.

Cons

It's a startup, so long hours can be expected if you are not a programmer.
