Pros

* Nice perks - Stocked kitchen, work from home, 3 year travel bonus and if you're a dog lover you get to bring your pup in * Lot of social events. Great place to have fun with coworkers * Leading product in the space so you're working with some smart people

Cons

Culture is cutthroat. There is no loyalty. Commercial team is a joke. Middle management will not hesitate to throw you under the bus to advance their career. Communication is nonexistent. Performance evaluations means nothing. Living in the gray area is all they do. They never define a clear path for you or let you know what you need to improve on

Pros

- Super smart team to learn from and very welcoming people - All voices are heard and ideas can be elevated and tested - Positive environment where many people have been with the company a long time and truly care about its success - Sporadic work travel and offsites - Free lunch in office 2 days a week and bagels, snacks, and drinks all the time - In office gym - Parking commuter benefit

Cons

- Reporting tool is specific to the company and can be a bit of a learning curve to figure out, but again, there are really great people to help you! - Multiple offices throughout the world, where team members are spread across or fully remote, so its rare that the entire team would be in one office together for collaboration - No train commuter benefit to coincide with parking benefit
