Pros

a great place for passionate people. The culture is very open and transparent. As an engineer the whole code line is open for you, and you can work on pretty much anything you want to make an impact on. It's a very gratifying experience as you can make changes and see it touch peoples lives almost every day.

Cons

with insane growth comes a lot of side effects, especially around lots of work usually ending up on your plate. There is a struggle on work-life balance, but we're getting good at this. But it's a good problem to have, considering it's a side effect of amazing growth.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
