Pros
I really respect my coworkers -- there is some real talent here and I'm learning from everyone. The product and vision of the company is very innovative and it's fun working on it. I enjoy the opportunity to be able to participate and contribute to multiple facets of our product.
Cons
Being a startup, there are definitely some growing pains and the trade-off with being able to wear so many hats is extra time and effort. But some of that is on me.

Thanks for your review. We feel very strongly about respect so it's great to see that it's a quality valued by all. Thanks for your efforts, we appreciate it!
Great team. Awesome management. Creative environment. I feel that my opinion is heard and that we all contribute to the creative process of the company. We spend a lot of time here working and the team members feel like family. The vision of the company is inspiring and everyone here is passionate about delivering world class service to customers.
Cons
Honestly cant think of any. This is by far the best and most rewarding job I have had.
Cool office space inside a WeWork facility with beer on tap and occasional free snacks. Friendly and easy to get along with San Francisco team. The salary was pretty nice and more than I was expecting.
Cons
The engineering team could be managed better as there didn't seem to be a sense of urgency when it came to assigning bug/feature tickets. The two offices (San Francisco and Irvine) seems to be pretty separated. A lot of the features and bug fixes that were completed and reviewed would just sit in the pull request list for a long period of time, some never even being merged. Being at the SF office for this company felt like the child that was never wanted.
The SF office assumed that we were going to be laid off at the end of September because our lease in the building was up at the end of the month and no one from the upper management had the decency to tell us if we were going to move to a smaller office or not renew the lease at all. The CEO arrives a few days before the lease is up to tell us that we were all being laid off.
