Pros

- Healthy work life balance - Company and product space have feasible growth trajectory - High quality software engineers - Significant value placed on communication skills - Hiring process and company culture effectively screens out high-ego individuals

Cons

- not the type of product where you can "move fast and break things" - it's hard to explain databases to your family/ friends when they ask what you do for a living. Prepare to seem like the most boring person at the party!

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)
