Pros

- office is generally young and outgoing with many happy hours during the summer - great employee stock benefits

Cons

- lack of leadership structure and senior engineer experience - Poor on boarding and no proper training - Management does not connect with staff engineers - Staff engineers are over worked due to shortage in designers and management's slow reaction during interview process - work share office and no local projects - work life balance only exists if you are a manager
