Pros

The culture is very special here. Everybody is very focused and vibrant; ideas are cherished and given the opportunity to grow. Everybody is held to a great standard, I honestly feel it keeps everybody's egos in check. Nobody worries about positions or titles, if you work hard you really will be recognized for it. I personally love having a new challenge every day. Like any startup, policies can change overnight, but the more flexible people will not be fazed by it. Very awesome, cutting-edge environment combined with an open office plan makes it a comfortable work environment. Pretty awesome focus on health. Great health insurance plan and benefits, in-office yoga on Fridays, catered (and healthy) lunches every day. Catering company does a great job of making sure everybody's dietary needs are sufficiently met.

Cons

Expectations can be high, but they are manageable and focused without going over the top. For people that prefer a rigid operating and office structure and don't like a very fluid environment, this might not be a good fit. For people that are flexible and curious, this will not be an issue.

Pros

Competitive salaries, supportive leadership, lunch stipend for those in office, decent benefits, embracing AI, truly trust in their employees, volunteer days, unlimited PTO, work life flexibility, positive and exciting culture. Honestly-- I like coming to work and I really enjoy the people I get to work with. Not a lot of my peers in my same function, but at different companies, can say that.

Cons

Can feel isolating as many of us are remote. Often only the sales team is allowed to incur travel.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
