Pros

- Amazing and smart coworkers who inspire me to be better. Lots of team bonding activities (team lunches, dinners, events) - Lots of opportunities for growth and promotions - Awesome benefits and vacation package, competitive salary - Inclusive and understanding environment

Cons

- Caught between startup and large org where there's not a lot of process so things feel scrappy, but it's not sustainable. There needs to be more process in place for product development - Still in early stages of design maturity. Design is slowly earning its seat at the table. A lot of design decisions still come from senior leadership rather looking into real user problems
