Pros

Lane has a very diverse team which I think brings a lot of strengths. Love the focus on maintaining this diversity. The product itself is really exciting as it is still a nascent space, and we are currently the market leaders. There is lots of opportunity and I believe this can be a unicorn company. The leadership team is great at executing, highly empathetic and open to communication. On the dev side, it's still a relatively small team, so there is tons of room to grow and learn, and make a big difference. We have a good work/life balance and it's only very rare that I have to work late.

Cons

We are lacking a strong testing culture on the software team. Growing the team during COVID remotely, while necessary, has limited the cross department collaboration. I'm looking forward to getting back to the office (we will be adopting a hybrid approach)!

Pros

-If you have a question or are struggling, you can ask literally anyone in the company for help and they will be there. If they don't know they answer, they will connect you with the right person. -Lane ensures that we are putting time aside to maintain a positive culture with regular meetings that allow us to just connect with other individuals on a personal basis. -Even with being such a young company, Lane has been able to offer paid lunches, snack boxes, and even multiple work-from-home stipends to ensure we are fully set up to work effectively and efficiently from home -Leadership listens to ideas and feedback, which allows each employee to feel like they are part of a team, rather than another cog in the wheel. -There is no micromanagement here, which means you are trusted to do your job. -Absolutely the best company that I have ever worked for. The time has flown by and I look forward to being here for a long time.

Cons

-As is standard with Startups, there are a lot of changes and shifting that happens. Not much can change here as it comes with the territory, but this also means that the company is making moves to ensure its success.

Hey, CEO here! Thanks for the feedback. We are still in startup mode, and we apologize for the changes constantly happening. It will improve as we get more people on board, but it takes time to find the best possible people that fit what we are doing.
