Pros

- across the company there are great people to work with and anyone is willing to dive in and help no matter the problem - product and eng are some of the best I have collaborated with - product vision is exciting and when you find users that love Coda they LOVE Coda

Cons

- Anything customer facing (sales, marketing, etc) is the clear weak link. Constant changes, reorgs, layoffs with a clear lack of strategy have worn those teams down. - The vision for the product is exciting but with no focus on what Coda is, who is it for and what problem we are solving makes selling the product extremely difficult. - that leaves Coda in the “nice to have” bucket of software tools and easily can get cut or never approved (seen as only an incremental improvement on existing tools and docs/sheets by many customers) - if you want to grow your career here it likely is not the best place for GTM roles. No real growth opportunities. - sales and marketing leadership is so obvious as not working but no changes have been made in years while lower level people continue to get laid off or constantly shuffled around in reorgs

Remote first, flexible scheduling, supportive and understanding leaders

Cons

It can be challenging for new users to learn the product but we've made a lot of progress in this area as well.
