Pros

It's never been better in year 3 of being at Mixpanel. There is more focus to the product, vision and growth of the company, coupled with the addition of charismatic leaders with experience scaling some of the world's most successful tech companies. Mixpanelers have always been fun, caring people to work with, but the culture has really improved in the last 6 months and there is renewed energy on the Go-to-Market team to make the most of the opportunity in front of us. It all adds up to an exciting year that will be surely filled with lots of rewarding work and the opportunity for every employee to make a significant impact.

Cons

It's not a company for everyone. There are lots of interesting questions to solve and the recent leadership and culture changes create teams that work fast without fear to make mistakes (something like 50+ feature updates in 6 months). It's data informed and intelligent risk, but it does mean things can pivot quickly. If you're the type of person that gets overwhelmed when trying to prioritize work or requires handholding to do your job, depending on the department, it may be too much. I don't see this as a good or bad thing, but not all working styles will thrive here. Those that lead by example, play well with others, naturally curious, and don't shy away from taking ownership do better here.

Pros

-Good people to work with who I actually don't mind talking to -Global spread of company which makes for interesting x-collaboration opportunities -good in office perks if you're near a hub -good pay for location, experience, and level -flexible wfh and RTO plan (2 days a week if near a hub) -you get the startup feel because it's a small company for being around for so long -not a ton of bureaucracy, but definitely internal politics happening behind the scenes -good mix of tenured employees and newer hires

Cons

Company has gone through a lot of changes as of late with leadership. Can be hard to understand what our focus is and where our sweet spot is in the market in comparison to other competitors, big & small. Not a ton of transparency from the new CEO on changes and decisions being made. HRBPs could better guide their stakeholders on messaging and handling of sensitive information and decisions. The product is also very complex and technical therefore it takes a lot to get up to speed on product knowledge. Hard to always know what the company focus is at any given moment because decisions change by the week and month. I feel like this is an affliction most companies that are fast moving deal with so take it with a grain of salt. Not a lot of great company KPIs and RKOs that can be pointed to outside of revenue goals. No great product mission or value statement that can be easily understood across the company. Disparities between how some GTM teams operate by region vs others which creates incongruity and pain when trying to understand how something is being done or when trying to set an operational standard. New execs and e-staff members are trying to do away with the cultural aspects that make Mixpanel special like Mixcursion and shared company/team experiences like off sites.
