$$ The physical office is great! Once series A funding came in, the CEO hired the top designer in Austin to come in and pimp this decrepit east Austin warehouse (they used to sell industrial supplies here or something!). It's cool, funky, and eclectic (none of the furniture matches!) But don't worry, we still have some funding left. All our furniture was found on Craig's List by our CEO himself! $$ If you are a data scientist, this IS THE PLACE! So many data scientist roles here. Close to half the company are data scientists (what other startup invests in science like that?!?!), and we all love the academic environment established by our Chief Data Officer. It's a big sand box! Science, baby! No restrictions of rigid product road maps like so many other companies have. We can play around and experiment without the pressure of having to deliver a production platform. That's why you bring in the VCs (and ours is hands off - Awesome Sauce!). $$ Unlike most start-ups, this is NOT a cheesy Sales culture like Wolf of Wall Street. Out of 20 people, only one guy is a salesperson. $$ Free lunch two days a week! $$ Everyone has the same mindset. You don't have to worry about dealing with people whose opinions about politics and religion are different from the founders (and wrong!). $$ The music! Our cofounders rock Spotify! And all our conference rooms are named after Oasis. I don't remember when they were still together in the 80s, but after hearing their music played all the time - it's dope! $$ Benefits! We all have really great opportunities to participate in a stock option plan (assuming you are not let go the day before your options vest). The company has been around two years, and our promised options have not been formalized by our CEO. I'm not concerned though. He's not the type to give anyone the short end.

The snack options are sometimes weak. We have lots of Topo Chico, but not enough candy
