Pros

Remote work, excellent work-life balance, flexible time off, 20+ company holidays and wellness days, and generous parental leave available from day one are all incredible benefits. What has stood out most to me, though, is the people. The leadership team and managers are some of the most intelligent, strategic, and thoughtful individuals I have had the opportunity to partner with throughout my career. They challenge teams to think bigger, make data-driven decisions, and focus on meaningful outcomes, while remaining approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in their employees' success. Since joining, every person I have worked with has been kind, respectful, collaborative, and willing to help. There is a strong culture of partnership where ideas are welcomed, expertise is valued, and people work together to solve problems rather than operate in silos. The company is navigating an exciting period of growth and transformation, and it's inspiring to work alongside such talented colleagues who are passionate about what they do. I feel fortunate to be surrounded by people who are not only exceptionally smart and strategic, but also genuinely good humans who make coming to work each day enjoyable.

Cons

I don't have any cons right now :)

Pros

Work life balance Company has dreams and funding Product has a neutral to positive impact Leadership team is capable but self-centered and cliquey

Cons

Not a great place if you are talented and want an upside. Comp and operations are optimized for order takers. Great place to coast. Below market pay. No or low equity. Terms are unfriendly and intentionally misleading. Average talent. Outsourcing engineering to low price, low quality markets. Below average and expensive products. Bleeding to better competitors. Lot of process to compensate for talent No major innovation. Just operating existing products and making marginal changes.
