Pros

The people and benefits here are amazing! Brand new office in Denver is something else. Growing company and many growing teams. Lots of opportunity ahead!

Cons

Typical growing pains that come with most start ups. Start in one direction, quickly pivot in another. Not really a con just something to be cognizant of.

Pros

• Strong executive leadership pointing the company in the right direction • Best culture I've experienced so far -- the people I work with are driven yet compassionate -- we are expected to work hard and smart for 8 hours a day, then go home • Competitive compensation and benefits • Working on a product that's well known and loved by many people • Building a product that I use on a daily basis is exciting

Cons

• Frequent reorganizations and process changes, not surprising for a fast-growing company but could be annoying • On certain teams, there's a lot of tribal knowledge that makes it difficult for a newcomer to start contributing right away • People can be too nice to the point where difficult topics are avoided

Pros

- Culture - smart, humble, hardworking, collaborative - Amazing product & fantastic customers - A balanced approach to business with a focus on business goals and opportunity to celebrate the wins

Cons

- Constant changes makes it hard to feel your impact - Only 5 years old so we have less process than most other companies our size (this can be a good thing but it's especially hard for new people to ramp)
