Pros

The team is driven, talented, and enjoyable to solve problems with. The product aims to make real positive impact in the space. After-work activities are frequent and occasionally sponsored by the company.

Cons

The CEO consistently struggles with emotional regulation and maintaining professionalism over email, in private, and when addressing the company as a whole. Fun startup perks are dwindling and work/life balance is unfavorable for a company at this stage. Deadlines are set unrealistically for the current team’s capabilities. The management level consists of generally capable and well-intentioned people who are overloaded and lack adequate guidance.

Pros

- Engaging work with great mission. Limited micromanagement and strong empowering of ICs - Strong business position and outlook - Recently filled out the leadership team and support functions - Great culture and team to work with. Generally good people with a strong work ethic and drive. - Really good benefits for a startup. 401k match, child leave, health benefits, lunches, commuter benefits, etc. Also great snacks/coffee.

Cons

- There is a difference between stretch goals and unattainable goals and a lot of times they fall into the unattainable category which can drive poor work life balance to try and meet them, However work life balance doesn't necessarily feel unfair for a scaling startup. - Processes and procedures still very adhoc and inefficient though getting better with additional hires - While the team is great and has promoted from within it is relatively junior to include managers and functional experience can be limited -Facilities and test infrastructure could use some work
