Pros

Good office space, nice perks, generally a pleasant work environment. Excellent food & drink. Working with talented, motivated people. Plenty of opportunities for career growth & development, and movement between teams if you're interested.

Cons

While short (weekly) and medium (monthly) objectives are scheduled smoothly, the company struggles to plan and execute long term projects. Tasks that can't be accomplished in a short time frame either are kicked into the long grass, botched, or both. This applies both to engineering and commercial. Complaints about a slavish adherence to A/B testing are also fair.

Pros

Great benefits: Healthcare had great coverage and affordable monthly payments. I also really appreciated the work-from-wherever policy as well as all the office snacks. Fantastic people: I genuinely loved the people I worked with—they made me feel like I belonged and was appreciated. My manager worked to build me up, something that can't be said for a lot of places. Travel perks: The ability to travel for work made this experience incredibly rewarding.

Cons

Slow mobility: Trying to get promoted felt like a moving goalpost—the expectations changed every six months and made it nearly impossible to get to the next step. Even then, the business was stingy about who gets promoted, which was incredibly discouraging after years of trying to prove myself.
