Pros
- Great mission on helping job seekers and employers finding the best matches possible. Creates crazy efficiency in the economy and happy employees/employers if we get this right. - Growing quickly and lots of opportunity to step up and contribute to the rocketship ride in a pre IPO company - Great perks, flexibility and culture. People understand you can get work done and have a life with competing priorities. Management doesn't care if I have to work from home to take care of appointments. Gym, onsite trainers and a new office on the water is amazing.
Cons
- ASAP Attitude versus Long Term Value. We have very high goals every quarter but are still in the early days on our employer business. We often make strategic decisions quickly based on what's good for sales versus a long term sustainable business that's unique and disruptive. Also tend to ship minimum value products and move on to the next feature quickly without coming back and optimizing previous releases. - Focused on Competitors vs Ourselves. We're in a competitive space and often compare ourselves against the competition. Totally get it. But this sometimes overly influences our product and sales decisions and take us down a path where we're talking about and imitating our competitors too much. - Salaries are pretty low compared to other hot tech firms in the Bay Area. Need to address this and keep star performers in the company.
