Not for everyone

Pros

Flexible work schedule (just get the work done mentality). Competitive pay, but heavy on the "golden handcuffs" approach with how they handle stock payouts.

Cons

The culture is definitely not for everyone. It's a STRONG "manage up" culture, meaning that your manager is likely more concerned about how they look to their manager than they are concerned about you as their team member. I've never been to a company who made a regular activity out of throwing people under the bus. It never happened to me, but I saw it on a regular basis. The vertical I was in gave lip service to how much they cared about work/life balance, but that wasn't reality. They are cheap in terms of resources and refuse to hire the number of people they really need, because the expectation is that smart people should be able to figure out how to do more with less. That only works to a point, and then the small teams just end up having to put in ridiculous hours. I really enjoyed the people I worked with, but most were pretty unhappy there, and there was a constant revolving door of turnover.
