Pros

- Established startup with a compelling and industry leading product - Every company claims that their employees are their most important asset, but few are willing to back it up the way Backblaze does. - Generous allowance to outfit your home office - Breakfast and lunch several times per week - Monthly happy hours hosted on a rotating basis by each group - Quarterly movie outings - Great coffee - Zero contribution medical. For your entire family! - Quirky but fun and funky office

Cons

- Open office gets noisy - San Mateo location is an awkward commute for most
