Pros

Worked with some great folks in the engineering department, compensation was good, benefits were good, company events were fun, nice office, nice kitchen, good supplemental activities like ping pong and yoga. Work/life balance was great - no expectation of overtime hours.

Cons

Product direction or direction from upper management was never going to help the company compete, so it was a slowly sinking ship. Tech stack got stale.

Pros

We work in an Agile environment where everyone contributes and has a meaningful voice on the team. I love the Friday, "Coffee Talk" with CEO, Jay Herratti's 30 minute sessions. Through these sessions, I've learned so much about other departments in the company by hearing a cross section of cross-functional team members talk about what they're working on. Enjoy working on tough, interesting projects and new challenges and being recognized personally and with my teammates for our contributions.

Cons

Since the company is such an open work environment and floor plan, its sometimes difficult to find open huddle rooms where several of us can meet and work out problems on white board space since there aren't too many meeting rooms. The days go quickly so I often wish more more time.
