Nice, but a little bit unusual place to work.

This is the "family business" environment. There is no strict rules, schedules, dress codes and so on. If you care about the company, it takes care of you. So, if you need a few days leave to take care of your private business - you will have it. If you need some help, you'll have it as well. No HRs, legal people and so on, carefully counting how many sick days did you take, what time have you arrived and did you express your love to the company according to the corporate rule book. This is pure "if you are good to mama, mama is good to you".
And if they are good, they are really good. Free education, higher than average salary, perfect benefits package, nice playroom, playground, "cinema night" and events for children if you need to take your child with you, corporate events and many other things.
This year there were some troubles related to one of the major clients, however, the management handles these troubles pretty well. They laid off a few people who were doing non-core jobs such as marketing people and Spanish support, however, the majority of employees keep their salary and benefits.
I did not rate "culture and values" as the company owners and the majority of employees have pretty conservative values, so it is all personal and subjective. They value knowledge, responsibility, and hard working. Say, discussing popular among millennials "triggers" and "microaggression" would rather cause laugh than understanding.
But, say, the company not only allows but encourages concealed carry at the workplace with a few reasonable limitations (e.g. strictly no guns and alcohol or when children present - the gun must be either in the holster or in the safe). It also gives a lot of first-aid training and provides an excelled set of first-aid tools and packs readily available. So, they don't speak about safety but really care about that.
Or, say, they support a lot of charity especially those who provide aid to sick children or to help veterans.
However, what I like about - is that all hot political and social topics are strictly banned from the discussion at the workplace and during the corporate events. So, there is not any kind of agenda pushed or even advertised.
I would say that depending on what is your core values you will either love or hate it. I, personally, like it.

This is "the family business" environment. As everything in the world, it is good and it is bad. Unlike the corporate environment, where you are good as long as you follow the instructions and rules, you have to think what is good and what is bad for the management. Sometimes you have to guess and it is pretty confusing and exhausting.
There is also no working rules for "how to make boss to like you". This is the only one way to be liked by the boss - you have to do your job darn well. "This is not my responsibility", "there is something else who failed" aren't accepted as the answer. Either job is done or not.
It is also a small company, about 20 employees here in the US, so responsibility is high, even if the position is not. At the same time, there is no big way to grow, comparing big companies. Whoever does the high-ranking job, they are working for this company for decades so it is almost impossible to take their position.

You need to think about career path and easier adaptation for the people who come from and to the big-corporate environment. Family environment that you have isn't something that most IT guys are used to.

I mostly appreciate flexibility of the company: I work part-time, being able to choose when to work from home, when are my holidays and what time I appear at the office. Compared to my previous job, there are no extra paper works or irrelevant meetings, all you have to do is work effectively. Also, one can play table tennis or have a little snack on the house while in the office.

I sometimes find it challenging to do the exact thing I am asked from the first time, because either documentation appers later, than I am civering a feture with a test, or a letter with my new task is not detailed enough.
