Pros

awesome benefits, very friendly people, flexible work hours

Cons

leadership has a very outdated mindset for building, marketing, and selling the product. Certain departments within the company are run better than others, but it's 50/50 if you'll be joining a functional team, or a chaotic mess with no direction. They claim to abide by a set of company values, but they constantly contradict their own values, leading to a high employee churn rate. Incredibly mismanaged, consistently putting people in high-power positions who have little relevant experience. also a constant battle to be paid what you're worth unless you're in a senior leadership position
