Pros
- Diverse in the sense that there are a lot of people of varying backgrounds across the globe - Leadership truly believes in its mission - Employees are super passionate, and will stick up for causes they believe in. - Company still runs like a well funded startup: great benefits, equity in the company, it can feel like a family at times, solid work life balance (2 weeks for pandemic leave, moving towards a hybrid office-home working environment) - Leadership is very accessible: every week there is a flavor of a "company townhall"
Cons
- Not diverse enough for African Americans - Leadership truly believes in its mission even it causes angst among product users and employees - Employees are super passionate, sometimes to the point not letting go of a sticky point like a dog with a bone. Sometimes having a strong opinion can be detrimental to overall progress. - Company still runs like a well funded startup: lack of documentation, processes feel inconsistent, can feel like some decisions are revenue driven even when leadership says otherwise - Leadership is very accessible which feels like they are being transparent but they aren't. Big decisions still take place behind privileged doors.
