Pros
Everybody just gets everything done. There's no quarter by quarter planning, teams are pretty autonomous and just get the work done. CEO is fantastic, the best I've worked with.
Cons
Can't think of any cons to be honest.

Pros
Wave is a super exciting place to be. The culture is outstanding. I've worked for multiple start-ups as well as large corporations and I've never been a part of something like this. The team is full of genuinely kind, thoughtful and supremely intelligent people. There are lots of opportunities to grow and develop leadership skills as well as formal ways to seek mentorship.
Cons
You'll never find a perfect work place, but Wave sets the bar high.
Advice to Management
Great work & superior on-boarding experience. Let's pick up the pace and keep moving!

Pros
The company is starting to evolve in very exciting ways. The company's been in an in-between kind of stage for the past year, and starting to come out of that to build momentum again. Lots of exciting things on the horizon. I'm more excited to be here now than I was the day I joined. If you know how to navigate a high-performing team environment, you'll do well here. Lots and lots of opportunity.
Cons
There's been a lot of change, which isn't for everyone. And for some teams there hasn't been enough change for a while, which isn't for everyone. The place is still figuring out how to figure itself out with everything that's ahead of us.
Advice to Management
Keep your foot on the gas. You got us all excited for what's ahead of us, now start driving towards that. You had us all chomping at the bit, don't lose that impulse.

Pros
Wave is constantly evolving and growing. Coming from a corporate environment, it was a huge breath of fresh air where you could see the impact of your line of work almost instantaneously. Being only 3 months along in my time at Wave, I have never looked back to my past jobs. I am so excited and invested in my job because the sky is the limit when it comes to learning opportunities and growth potential.
Cons
Wave is a fast paced work environment that changes constantly. You really have to get excited and keep your drive up to be prepared for going to work everyday!

Pros
People are great - welcoming, smart, fun, empathetic to others and to customers. It's a positive and healthy environment, as focused on the well being of its employees as it is on its customers. Solid product with a clear value and heavy impact to S&M business owners.
Cons
Nothing I can think of right now, but as the organization is growing quickly, it will be key to keep your standards high and not compromise on the type of people you bring onboard in order to continue this positive and unique environment.
