Great environment, fantastic colleagues, a dream of a workplace. Since walking through the door for my first interview, everything has been coordinated in the best way possible and the vibe has been positive. The people that work here are enthusiastic about the brand and what the company is about.

Cons

No cons. The office has snacks, an open work space and sometimes there are dogs running around.

Pros

Great office culture with a very flat hierarchy. Employees down to the junior level feel empowered to make decisions and are super passionate about the company product and mission. Feel very good about the leadership, they are calm even in moments of chaos. Colleagues are smart, nice and fun to hang out with at and outside of work. Great atmosphere and interesting projects to work on.

Cons

Work life balance can vary by department, but the company is working on improving this. Unstructured environment which can be a negative for some.
