Megalomaniac - Anonymous employee Flow Engineering Employee Review

Pretty much none, exciting use cases

Arrogant founder, very rigid way of thinking, over simplifies sales and ultimately works against you. Micro manager CEO who doesn’t actually understand GTM at all, like being bossed around my a tuna sandwich

I get to do things I'm totally unqualified for - which is a little scary, but also hugely rewarding. I've grown more in the last two years, than in the previous five. The team is great - nice, smart, dedicated people who really care about the mission. The entire company is like one big team, pushing towards the same goal. I love being able to work so closely with our users - who are themselves doing incredible things. I literally get to talk to bleeding-edge rocket, robotics and nuclear engineers to understand how they build, and ship features that help them build faster. I feel fortunate to have built great relationships with some of the most senior engineers at the top next-gen hardware companies. The tight feedback loop of ‘request -> ship -> thanks’ is what I find most rewarding. The day-to-day work is a nice blend of technical challenges and human/UX challenges. One day I might be working on a graph traversal problem, another day I might be trying to figure out how to make complex information more digestible.

Early-stage startups are hard. You make up a large proportion of the entire company, so although you get a huge amount of ownership and responsibility, there's also accountability that comes with that. If you're looking for a role where you can coast, this isn't the place for you.
