Pros

- I got to work on some core features. - Kitchen is fully stocked with some good snacks. - HR seems to care about the employees and the problems they face.

Cons

- Horrible engineering culture. The codebase is old and has lots of spaghetti code and we were not given any time to refactor them. - Pay is low compared to other startups in the region. - Location: lot of crazies hang out outside the office and you can hear them while at work.

Pros

Sabbatical program, wellness stipend, snacks & drinks, Thursday catered lunch, fun holiday team events, good high referral bonus, medical + dental I applied to this job and was pleased to find that this company was very honest and transparent. The interview process was smooth and the folks here have a high level of integrity and professionalism. We all listen to each other closely and there is a high level of respect among the team. No substantial office politics that I've noticed. My work is pretty engaging, changes by the week, and top management works closely with me and gives me a lot of freedom to explore my role and do projects. The customer service team is definitely the happiest that I've seen from other jobs, especially in the way that they act like a supportive family. There are good folks here - management really does listen to your concerns. The CEO works closely with us and we have great policies that are inclusive of employees with children. Clean and well-lit office. Enough people to keep it interesting but not so big that you get lost and feel like a cog in a machine.

Cons

Nothing that I can really complain about, but if I were to list some: Commuter benefits could be better, public transportation is expensive and the stipend only makes a tiny dent in my commuting costs per month. Snacks could be more filling, albeit we change it around a lot and HR will order most things you request. Would like to see more women of color in leadership roles in the future. Office is really, really quiet. People aren't unfriendly, but this is definitely a less gregarious workplace as compared to some.
