      Pros

      Strong perks, good people, exciting product, great office location

      Cons

      The company is set up to fail from a data perspective, specifically from leadership decisions - extremely ineffective low-level managers that shouldn't be in a people manager role, a ton of politics, silo'd decision making, blindness to what is really going on from leadership (due to selective communication by certain leaders), and completely shaky infrastructure that sets up any team using data to fail. Directors and VPs changes their vision and perspectives week to week, demand deliverable turnaround within a day with no ahead notice, work is demanded that is unrelated to job roles, over-promising to the exec team and blame their org for not delivering, and failures to self-reflect any mistakes made.

      Pros

      - exciting business opportunity with tons of upside still ahead - very smart people to work with and learn from - good diversity of backgrounds and experience - no jerks, lots of respect and empathy for co-workers - opportunity to create and build something amazing - everyone has a hand in creating the business and helping determine its future - worklife balance is real here for everyone, including parents

      Cons

      Few to mention here... - too open? Sometimes conversations about small topics will take center stage in the internal news cycle which can be a distraction from the work at hand. - Life is great here and wouldn't trade it but it feels like we may be a bit over-entitled at times. It's not outrageous, but can be a little silly at times.
