Promising startup with growing pains but full of super sharp and supportive individuals
Pros
- Excellent comp and decent benefits. - Still a leader in the Jamstack space, which is still nascent in terms of enterprise-level adoption. Next few years will be critical for the company to execute against its goals but the upside is still much very present. - This is a place where you experience tremendous growth if you are the type of an individual that is a go-getter. The path to a solution is not always clear but every colleague will provide support and go out of their way to make sure that the collective group can succeed.
Cons
- It is critical for remote companies to nail down documentation and async comms to succeed. While Netlify isn't the worst when it comes to those things, it certainly has room for improvement. - Some may point out that the culture has been slowly eroding over the years due to the massive headcount growth and leadership hires that have brought over their clans. While I do think this is a valid point, I don't think it has any impact on your day-to-day and it is an issue that nearly all starts experience as they experience crazy growth periods. That being said, leadership need to focus on continuing to lead with empathy and transparency to preserve the overall great culture (yes some issues present but overall still great) we have at Netlify. - Not the best WLB so this is not the place to be if you are looking to coast. That being said, work hard, play hard, and you will grow a ton.
