Pros

Lots of good people who care a lot about what they are building and who they are building it for. Primarily a product company, engineering and product is fast moving and interesting. Minimal politics and good values around work/life balance (at least for the Australian offices). In my experience pays well and looks after employees.

Cons

As a fast moving company priorities can change quickly. Management sometimes needs prompting for helping people progress their career paths. Some legacy technology / technical debt (PHP), but being proactively addressed and balanced by new stuff in Golang/Ruby.

Pros

Australian company with an office in Oakland Ca. Fully remote position. Very chill environment. Laid back leadership approach. Expectations were reasonable. Although the mission was never terribly clear. And then the position was ended a year into it. Laid off with a pretty decent severance package.

Cons

C-level management was never very clear on what our mission was. Pretty sure they knew they were going to lay us off when they hired us. They just needed a few stop-gap lower managers.
