Pros

Hipcash getting people outside great investors (was a cool office space) democratized open data great coworkers campouts fair compensation

Cons

CEO is aggressive towards employees in an unhealthy way. Seen her verbally attack others, quick to cut them off, and plays favorites. Without going into details, the CEO is one of the companies greatest employee assets and also its biggest obstacle. trying to do too much with too little resources expected to work pretty ridiculous hours in general different rules for different people. Friend of the CEO or being there early gets all the favoritism shortsighted doesn't listen to the experts in the chair but rather outsources ideas this business has tight margins

Pros

Some incredibly smart people to work with and learn from. Great work/life balance and perks especially for outdoor enthusiasts.

Cons

Overall culture leaves much to be desired. New hires are thrown into the deep end to see if their work style lets them float or sink in their established pool of team dynamics. Most employees seem to be veterans of the company seeing 5-8 years tenure with little action to continue hiring and growing the team; also made evident by the lack of any team-specific onboarding process. Expected to self-onboard based on outdated documentation and company’s slack history. Company normalizes operating on minimal resources and expects employees to take on several hats outside of their role for every project or task assigned to them.
