Pros

Pros -Culture is strong, and there's a lot of passion for the product. -Co-workers are very friendly and helpful. -The company itself is very successful and continues to grow on that path.

Cons

Cons -Some of the leadership is a little under-qualified, and it shows. -Benefits could be better, but maybe that's why we still have so much money left in the bank? Catch-22 situation. -There's a distinct lack of transparency as we continue to grow larger, and it's unfortunate because that was not the case in the beginning.

Pros

Decent opportunities for growth. Working hours flexibility. Relaxed environment and fantastic colleagues. Versatile position — definitely not a call centre kind of job if that's what you're imagining.

Cons

Californian PC culture can be a bit too strong.
