Pros
The people are everything. They're ridiculously smart, a lot of fun to hang out with, and above all, you can trust that they're hard-working. There is no need for a manager to make sure you're doing your work because we all care. We push ourselves harder than anyone else can. Ironically, that results in a relaxed working environment. There's also a lot of perks. Free meals, housing stipend, gym stipend, benefits, and best-of-class technology, sports leagues, workshops, and finance and tech talks.
Kontras
Addepar is not for the weak of heart. If you want a typical office 9 to 5 job, Addepar is definitely not it. We pull long hours, but only because we want to. It's a startup. But there is a decided unbalance in having a social life outside of work and the workweek.
