Silos between product and services and skill sets are not often appreciated internally when transferring. Recent joiners may not be as passionate about the product.

Pros

- Good general culture - Amazing product - Fun company events

Cons

- Heavy on procedure and paperwork - Recruiting is weak - Seems like about 80% of the company is "just out of school" inexperienced people - Culture differs dramatically from department to department and manager to manager (night and day) - No one is interested in change - Very bad hiring practices. Onboard bad talent and keep them forever

Pros

The company was founded with great values, and they really care about their employees. I just started as a software engineer out of the SF office and I love working here so much. My team is awesome and we are working with some really cool technologies. Plus there is a huge market opportunity for the product overall!

Cons

I honestly can't think of any!
