Pros

Notion is an exceptional place to work and stands apart as a truly special, thoughtful, and unique organization. The combination of an inspiring, game-changing product, a deeply thoughtful approach to people, spaces, and culture, and being surrounded by smart, caring people has created a workplace experience that exceeds all expectations. My time at Notion has been the most rewarding of my career, both personally and professionally. Here are some highlights: - *Product:* Getting to work within such an incredible tool is amazing. Testing features, improving processes and collaborating so easily - I'm proud to work for a product I genuinely adore. - *Culture:* The collaborative environment, brilliant minds, and genuine care for employee wellbeing create a workplace that feels uniquely special. The connections formed here transcend typical professional relationships. - *Autonomy:* The level of trust and ownership given to employees allows everyone to truly shape their work and make meaningful decisions that directly impact success. - *Spaces:* The Notion offices around the world are beautiful, warm, inviting and foster collaboration, creativity and community that make being in the office a delightful experience! - *Management:* Leadership at Notion is truly exceptional, approachable and highly engaged. There is a unique energy that flows from the top down. We're all builders at heart, deeply committed to in our work. - *Founder:* Ivan is an incredible founder and a very inspiring guy. His commitment to building both an outstanding product and a thriving company culture is evident in every decision.

Cons

- *Burnout:* Notion is undoubtedly a busy, fast-paced environment, and burnout is real. I'd love to see the company do a little more to create intentional recharge moments - whether through company-wide rest days, wellness initiatives, or simply encouraging people to truly disconnect.

Pros

There’s an actual (free) coffee shop in the office, the workspace is beautiful, and the pay is highly competitive. For the most part, you’re working with really smart colleagues, which is great. Plus, the tool itself is widely used and loved, and it actually makes your day-to-day job a lot easier when it's running smoothly.

Cons

The high turnover here is pretty exhausting, and it feels like people are constantly leaving. Communication from management is also really stressful—there’s almost no heads-up or clear feedback if someone needs to improve, so people and even managers just get blindsided by sudden PIPs or getting let go. Roadmaps change constantly, too. While the All Hands meetings are super inspiring, they usually just spiral into management shifting direction completely and forcing you into another crazy, unrealistic deadline. On top of all that, the tool itself runs pretty slow on the production side, which just adds to the daily frustration.
